For a Living Kiruna – Machine Operator/Ski Lift Operator

One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna. We are the healthcare staff holding the hands of elderly mothers, the teachers getting little brothers to read their first words, the childcare workers watching someone grow every day, and the social workers making the changes needed to transform lives. We are personal assistants providing freedom, librarians making literature accessible, and home support staff driving to the villages in snowstorms, guided by the midnight sun, to be there.

We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience working together to secure, care for, inspire, educate, save lives, think new thoughts, move cities, support each other, and care for people. With pride and care. From the mountains to the city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna.

There is something beautiful about that. Do you also want to work for life, for people, and for the future in Kiruna Municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what matters?
