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 people like you.

As a process operator at our new smelter, you will be at the forefront of future steelmaking technology, working with the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). In this role, you will play a key part in ensuring that production runs efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with both quality and environmental standards. You will monitor operations closely, quickly identifying and addressing any deviations that could indicate process issues.

This is a technically challenging and highly responsible position, where your focus will be on maintaining a smooth production flow while upholding the highest safety standards.

• Focus on troubleshooting mechanical and electrical systems related to the melting processes.
• Verify, document, and record data.
• Actively contribute to creating a safe working environment by participating in the development and maintenance of process control and safety procedures.
• Be a role model in fostering a culture where safety is always the top priority, and coach and guide less experienced colleagues to create a safe and efficient workplace together.
• You will be entrusted with making decisions and proactively finding solutions.

What you’ll bring

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Documented qualifications in workplace safety (e.g., OSHA, confined space work, working at heights).
• Experience in developing work methods and participating in development projects.
• Hot work certification.
• Additional certifications (e.g., driver's license, forklift certification, crane operator certificate, welding certificate) are an advantage.
• Good knowledge of English; basic knowledge of Swedish is a plus.
• Driver's license B.

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.

• A permanent position in one of Sweden’s most exciting industrial projects.
• Competitive salary and benefits package in line with Union-negotiated agreements.
• 25 days of annual leave, in accordance with Swedish labor standards.
• Full relocation support, including housing assistance, travel arrangements, and relocation compensation.
