Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering smarter ways to drive profitable growth and unlock the full potential of our business. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop data-driven strategies that strengthen competitiveness and support long-term success.

As we move forward, the innovative and collaborative spirit that defines our culture also fuels our personal growth. By shaping more efficient and sustainable business models, we build strong careers and create lasting impact.

About the Role

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic method for evaluating the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life—from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and distribution, to use, recycling, and final disposal. By quantifying resource use, emissions, and potential environmental effects, LCA provides a comprehensive view of a product’s environmental footprint. This enables organizations to make informed decisions that reduce negative impacts, improve sustainability, and support transparent communication with stakeholders.

This is an opportunity to influence both strategy and innovation at a global company committed to Pioneering Positive Impact.

You will lead advanced LCA initiatives across our product portfolio and help turn sustainability insights into measurable business value. Working closely with colleagues across Research & Development (R&D), operations, marketing, and product management, you will support smarter decisions that reduce environmental impact while strengthening customer value.

You will also play an important role in communicating our sustainability performance to customers, partners, and industry stakeholders.

• Represent Alfa Laval in industry forums, conferences, and customer meetings

• Mentor and support junior LCA practitioners and help build internal capability

• Contribute to the continuous development of our sustainability methodologies and tools
