Svappavaara – LKAB (#)

The sustainable transition starts with us

We are facing our biggest challenge so far – ensuring that Sweden and Europe have what is needed to transition. So that we can live the life we want, now and in the future. Just as we want to improve the future, we want to develop everyone who is with us on this journey, personally and professionally. Do you want to be part of laying the foundation for the life we live and the world around us?

Your role

As an automation technician, you are an important support function for the entire operation in Svappavaara. You work broadly with electrical, automation, and instrumentation issues, and have a varied daily life with both planned and urgent tasks.

Examples of duties:

• Electrical installations and troubleshooting throughout Svappavaara – from simpler tasks like changing lamps to connecting machines, instruments, and control systems
• Preventive and urgent maintenance as well as advanced troubleshooting and repairs of electrical, automation, and instrumentation equipment within LKAB's industrial area in Svappavaara
• Involvement in new installations, dismantling, inspection rounds (TK2 and TK3), and smaller projects
• Contact person for urgent electrical issues and participation in the automation on-call list
• Work with high-voltage equipment and responsibility for the 6 kV cable in the open-pit mine

The work takes place in several different facilities with varying technology, which means that workdays look different. You work both indoors and outdoors with a broad mix of tasks, often together with colleagues. Together, you contribute to developing working methods and technology with a focus on safety, efficiency, and improvements that make a difference.

What you bring with you

We are looking for you who are solution-oriented and enjoy taking on new challenges. You find it easy to collaborate, communicate clearly, and are receptive in contact with both colleagues and other functions in the operation. You take responsibility for your work and have the ability to think ahead even when problems are unexpected. The role requires you to be flexible and confident in switching between different tasks and areas of contact.

To succeed in the role, we see that you have:

• Upper secondary education in electricity or equivalent
• Category B driver's license (for manual transmission)
• Good knowledge of Swedish, both in speech and writing
• Experience working with hardware (meritorious)
