Do you want to help implement the world's first green and nitrate-free explosive? Do you want to help build a new explosives industry with global potential? And, do you want to contribute with your interest in technology and customer-focused work? We are now looking for Application Engineers at Garpenberg with a focus on implementation who thrive on being an important link between technology, business and people.

Hypex Bio Explosives Technology AB is a Swedish company that has developed the world's first green and nitrate-free bulk explosive for civilian use. Our technology has received a lot of attention in the mining industry worldwide, as we have successfully proven its effectiveness and environmental benefits. We need to continue to grow significantly to achieve a strong global presence, as there is a rapidly increasing demand for our sustainable explosives technology.

We can offer a uniquely challenging and exciting role where you can use your technical knowledge and passion to grow. We welcome you to join our dedicated team and help us develop and support exciting start-up projects, troubleshoot issues, provide support and train our customers.

Conduct project-based work at our customers' sites with a focus on project start-up, implementation, training and testing.

Training and supporting our customers and their staff to ensure proper use of our products.

Identifying, troubleshooting and resolving technical issues in close collaboration with our development team.

Perform light service work when required to ensure optimal performance and reliability of our products.

Additional:

• Experience as a blaster/rock blaster

The role is varied as you will work in various projects where Hypex technology is in many cases tested for the first time. You will work closely with our research and development department and will introduce new products and technologies. To succeed in the role, you need to be responsible, self-driven, curious, positive and thorough. You need to be responsive, flexible and willing to travel and work away for periods when the nature and location of the work can vary greatly. You are an engaged, positive and sociable person who is able to spot opportunities and clearly communicate your ideas in large groups.
