ARCHITECT

Location: Stockholm, SE

Contract duration: initial 12 month contract - renewable

Start Date: Jan 2025

Project: Boden - 6 billion EUR green steel project site

We are on a mission to disrupt the global steel industry by producing green steel, with the end goal of bringing down CO2 emissions to zero. Our green steel production in Boden will be powered by one of the world’s largest green hydrogen plants, running on renewable electricity. Instead of emitting large amounts of CO₂, as in traditional steelmaking processes, our primary emission will be water.

By 2030, our ambition is to produce 5 million tonnes of green steel annually in our fully integrated, digitalized, and sustainable plant in Boden, located in northern Sweden - currently in construction phase. The facility will impact, and shape, the surroundings as well as the perception of Boden, with the aim that it will be seen as a symbol for the much-needed green transition of heavy industry.

We are seeking an Architect with a minimum of 7 years of experience to take full ownership of the architectural scope for a cutting-edge industrial steel mill project. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the conceptualization, design, and development of architectural standards and guidelines, ensuring the project meets both functional and aesthetic goals.
