Job description

NCC Green Industry Transformation

Sweden is facing a historic transformation. Heavy industry is undergoing a shift, paving the way for a fossil‑free future that creates significant value in terms of economic growth, technological development, and the environment. As an important part of community development in northern Sweden—where some of the most critical investments are taking place—we are now seeking a driven Lifting Coordinator, a key role in one of our complex projects in Northern Sweden.

About the Role – Lifting Coordinator

As a Lifting Coordinator, you will play a key role in the project's production team. You will work closely with site supervisors, production teams, the HSE team, contractors, and subcontractors to ensure safe and efficient operations. Your primary responsibility will be to plan, coordinate, and oversee both heavy and light lifting operations within the project in Luleå. The role includes developing lift plans, ensuring that all lifting operations are carried out in compliance with applicable legislation and internal requirements, and coordinating with relevant stakeholders to minimize risks. You will act as the link between personnel and lifting equipment, helping to create a safe working environment, ensure regulatory compliance, and prevent incidents and accidents.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and coordinate lifting operations.
• Review and manage drawings and lift plans.
• Ensure all lifting activities comply with local and national regulations as well as internal safety requirements.
• Provide technical expertise and make decisions related to lifting methods and lifting equipment.
• Establish routines for maintenance and periodic inspection of lifting equipment.
• Conduct risk assessments and safety inspections prior to lifting operations.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone with several years of hands‑on experience planning and leading lifting operations in complex environments, ideally within industrial, infrastructure, or large‑scale construction projects. You are structured, solution‑oriented, and enjoy working closely with production teams. You are confident making decisions under pressure and thrive in a field‑based work environment.

• Experience working with mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and other lifting equipment.
• The ability to independently plan, assess risks, and coordinate lifting operations safely and effectively.
• Strong knowledge of relevant legislation and safety regulations.
• Excellent communication skills in both Swedish and English (required).
• The ability to review technical drawings and develop lift plans.
• Experience in planning, supervision, and technical decision‑making.
• Strong attention to detail, a high degree of independence, and good teamwork skills.
• A strong interest in technology and a willingness to work outdoors.
• A valid Category B driving licence (required).

Meritorious Qualifications

• Certifications such as Lift Supervisor Certification, Safe Lifting, or Hot Work.
• Knowledge of occupational health and safety legislation.
• Experience with CAD software, lift planning tools, and project control systems.
• Experience working on large‑scale projects.

Location

On‑site presence in the city of Luleå (North of Sweden) is set to at least 100% of working hours. This is a prerequisite for succeeding in the role. However, it is possible to take on this opportunity even if you are based elsewhere in Sweden, provided you have good travel options to Luleå (e.g., Boden, Piteå, Skellefteå, Stockholm, Uppsala, etc.). NCC will arrange travel and accommodation within Sweden. Candidates must have the legal right to work in Sweden; the role requires regular on‑site presence in Sweden and limited relocation support is available.
