Are you ready to take charge of some of the most critical electrical systems in a modern steel plant? At Stegra, your expertise is essential to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of our medium- and high-voltage electrical systems. If you enjoy working with advanced electrical installations, performing hands‑on maintenance, and contributing to a safe and stable power distribution in a high‑tech industrial environment, this is your opportunity to make a real impact while supporting sustainable steel production.

A Bit About The Role

At Stegra, we’re not just building a plant – we’re proving that sustainable industry is possible. And to do that, we need skilled people like you. As an Electrician in our Mill-wide Services team at Stegra Boden, you are responsible for the installation, maintenance, inspection, and repair of medium‑and‑high‑voltage electrical systems that support both production equipment and electrical distribution. The role is critical to the safe and efficient operation of substations, switchgear, and transformers. You work in full compliance with safety regulations, LOTOTO principles, and established work procedures to support the mill’s operational goals.

• Install, maintain, and perform preventive and corrective maintenance on medium- and high-voltage electrical systems.
• Inspect electrical equipment, machinery, transformers, switchgear, protection relays, and MV/HV substations to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Troubleshoot electrical faults using technical drawings, MV/HV schematics, protection documentation, and diagnostic equipment.
• Repair and replace faulty electrical components, including wiring, breakers, control panels, switchgear, motors, and transformers.
• Perform MV/HV switching operations in compliance with Swedish regulations, ESA requirements, and Stegra authorization procedures.
• Ensure a safe working environment by following electrical codes, safety regulations, LOTOTO procedures, and proper use of PPE.

• Collaborate with colleagues and other functions to continuously improve maintenance and reliability.

What you’ll bring:

• Vocational electrical education with experience in industrial maintenance; higher education within electrical engineering is considered an advantage but not required.
• Relevant certifications and training for MV/HV electrical work in accordance with Swedish regulations (e.g. ESA and high-voltage switching authorization).
• 3+ years of experience as an industrial electrician in heavy industry, preferably within steel, mining, pulp, paper, or similar process industries.
• Proven experience in maintaining, troubleshooting, and operating medium- and high-voltage systems, including switchgear, transformers, and protection systems.
• Strong knowledge of LOTOTO procedures and a solid understanding of Swedish and EU electrical and work environment regulations.
• High safety awareness with the ability to work independently in high-risk MV/HV environments and make sound decisions when needed.
• Structured, detail-oriented, and self‑motivated, with a collaborative mindset and strong problem‑solving skills.
• Physically capable of working at heights, in challenging industrial environments, and handling MV/HV equipment and protective gear.
• Good communication skills in English; Swedish language skills are considered a plus.

What you’ll get:

If you're passionate about making a real difference and contributing to a more sustainable future, Stegra offers a unique opportunity to be part of a driven and ambitious team. Here, you can help shape the future of steel production while growing your own career in a company that values inclusion, collaboration, and personal development. We believe our success starts with our people – and together, we’re building a greener tomorrow.

But this is just the beginning. Our expertise in green hydrogen will enable us to decarbonize industries beyond steel, paving the way for a cleaner future.

Founded in 2020, Stegra (formerly H2 Green Steel) was created with the purpose to decarbonize hard‑to‑abate industry. Construction of our first project – an integrated plant producing green hydrogen, green iron and green steel – is well underway in Boden, Sweden. Slashing emissions using green hydrogen and renewable electricity, we’re starting a clean industrial revolution. Steel is just the beginning. Together, we focus on delivering green impact – for our people, customers, investors, society and planet.
