Construction Project Manager – Avesta Operations (PMO)

Outokumpu Avesta is growing – and we are now looking for a technically strong Project Manager who wants to drive our construction projects. Here, you will play a central role in developing, modernizing, and future-proofing our production through qualified maintenance efforts and plant modifications.

This is a role for you if you thrive close to operations, enjoy being out in the plant, and want to drive projects from early feasibility studies to final delivery. You will be the one holding the whole picture together – technically, economically, and temporally.

About the Role

As Construction Project Manager, you lead the construction engineering part of projects characterized by reinvestments, modernizations, and process technology upgrades.

You are responsible for the entire project lifecycle: from feasibility study to execution and closure. This is done in close collaboration with maintenance, production, and external stakeholders.

• be responsible for economics, scope, and schedule
• coordinate and lead internal specialists and external suppliers
• lead and follow up on construction projects throughout the entire process
• ensure that projects are carried out in accordance with building codes, legal requirements, and our safety and quality requirements

The role is operationally close – you move around a lot in the plant, engage in dialogue with technicians, maintenance, and production, and ensure that projects work in reality.

Part of Avesta PMO

Who are you?

• curious, development-oriented, and used to driving things forward
• operational, practical, and thrive in production
