This role requires a strong on-site presence in Boden, as the work is closely connected to the day-to-day execution of the project. The role is best suited for someone who can maintain a consistent presence on site throughout the assignment, whether you already live in the region, have ties to Northern Sweden, or are prepared to make Boden your base during the project.
