Your role

We are now looking for a dedicated Cable Repairer to join our workshop located 1365 meters underground. You will belong to the Kiruna Gruva Rasbrytning section, where our mission is to maintain and develop the company's machinery to ensure high, resource-efficient availability and production.

The role requires you to be collaborative, as you work closely with several different work groups on a daily basis and need to be able to communicate, collaborate and build good relationships. Your creativity is also an important asset - as we are constantly working to find new and improved solutions to our ways of working. To succeed in the role, you also need to be solution-oriented and have the ability to handle varied situations and errors that arise. Finally, it is important that you are confident in yourself and can stand up for your opinions as you will need to share your knowledge with other work groups.
