Vacant job

The best day in a process industry is rarely the most eventful.

It is the day when production flows smoothly, equipment works as intended, and operations deliver without disruptions. For most, it is just an ordinary workday. For those working with operational reliability, it is the result of hundreds of decisions, analyses, and improvements made long before anything went wrong. This is exactly where this role makes a difference.

To NG Nordic's facility in Norrtorp, just outside Kumla, we are now looking for a Maintenance Engineer who wants to help develop modern, preventive, and data-driven maintenance. Here you combine analysis, technology, and improvement work with close collaboration out in the operations. You will become part of an engaged maintenance team where knowledge sharing, team spirit, and the desire to develop together are a natural part of everyday life.

When technology becomes part of sustainability work

NG Nordic is a leading Nordic player in circular solutions and environmental services. At the facility in Kumla, industrial waste is converted into energy and new resources – an operation where advanced process technology meets a clear societal mission.

Every improvement that increases the facility's availability means more than just stable production. It also contributes to more efficient resource utilization, reduced environmental impact, and an operation that can meet future demands.

Therefore, NG Nordic invests not only in technology and facilities, but also in the people who develop them.

A role with significant influence

As a Maintenance Engineer, you work close to production but with a clear future perspective. You analyze recurring disruptions, identify improvement opportunities, and translate technical insights into solutions that strengthen the facility's availability and robustness over time.

You report to the Maintenance Manager and work in close collaboration with other maintenance engineers, mechanics, electricians, production, contractors, and suppliers. The role involves many contact surfaces and is based on close collaboration between different functions where you together drive development forward.

You switch between analysis, planning, and operationally close work. One day you lead a root cause analysis, the next you plan a shutdown, participate in an investment project, or coordinate technical interventions together with colleagues and external partners.

You will, among other things:

• Analyze recurring operational disruptions and conduct root cause analyses
• Develop preventive and corrective maintenance
• Plan, prepare, and follow up on maintenance interventions
• Drive technical improvement and investment projects
• Plan and coordinate shutdowns
• Develop working methods and maintenance strategies
• Use Maximo and technical data as decision support
• Collaborate with production, technical specialists, contractors, and suppliers
• Contribute to high safety, stable operations, and increased availability

The work is primarily carried out during daytime hours. In connection with planned shutdowns or unplanned operational disruptions and failures, the workload may be higher at times. For you who enjoy problem-solving and want to contribute when it really counts, this is a natural and stimulating part of the role.

We believe you are driven by understanding – not just fixing

You likely have a university or civil engineering degree in mechanical engineering, maintenance, production technology, or equivalent. Alternatively, you have built up equivalent competence through several years of experience from the process industry or other technically advanced operations.

You enjoy combining analysis and structure with an operationally close working method. For you, good maintenance is not just about solving today's problems, but about understanding the root cause, creating long-term improvements, and contributing to a more stable and reliable facility.

If you have experience from the process industry, improvement work, investment projects, or work in Maximo, we see this as merit.

We also appreciate that you have a B-driver's license and good knowledge of Swedish and English, both in speech and writing.

You are curious and analytical and enjoy delving into how technology, processes, and people interact. At the same time, you are unpretentious and happy to share your knowledge. You thrive in an environment where people help each other, take joint responsibility, and find solutions together when challenges arise.

You work systematically and drive your work forward independently, but you also appreciate being part of a team where different competencies complement each other.

That is why we believe you will thrive

At NG Nordic, maintenance is a central part of the operations and a key prerequisite for safe, stable, and sustainable production. Here you become part of a knowledgeable maintenance team where everyone has their own areas of responsibility, but collaboration is a natural part of everyday life.

This is evident in daily work. You have joint morning meetings, eat lunch together, and work close to both production and each other. Knowledge is shared openly, and there is a strong desire to help each other when someone needs support or another perspective. This creates a work environment where it is easy to ask questions, contribute ideas, and develop together.

You get a manager who is present in the operations, accessible in everyday life, and clear about both expectations and feedback. At the same time, you have great freedom to take responsibility, drive improvements, and influence how maintenance work develops forward.

There are also good opportunities to broaden your competence here. The role spans analysis, technology, project management, and improvement work, which means you get to work with varying issues and follow the results of your work over time.

For you who want to combine engineering knowledge with a clear sustainability mission, there is an opportunity here to make a real difference, both for the facility, the operations, and the environment.
