As a diesel locomotive repairer in our locomotive workshop in Kiruna, you will have the opportunity to work with exciting technology and contribute to safe and efficient operations. Join our dedicated team and develop in an environment where your contribution really counts!

The most important job of the future

We want to lead the transformation of our industry towards a sustainable future. Just as we want to change the world, we want to develop everyone who joins us on this journey, personally and professionally. Do you want to help shape the future of the world's mining and minerals industry?

LKAB Malmtrafik

LKAB Malmtrafik is responsible for loading, unloading and transporting LKAB's iron ore products on the Ore Line. We ship from the mines in Kiruna and Malmberget to the ports in Luleå and Narvik, as well as to SSAB in Luleå.

Your role

As a diesel locomotive repairer, you have a crucial role in our locomotive workshop in Kiruna. Your work includes both preventive and emergency maintenance of our locomotive fleet to ensure traffic safety and operational reliability. You'll carry out planned overhauls and repairs, as well as dealing with emergencies, which may sometimes involve going out to the site of the locomotive. The work involves problem solving and identifying effective solutions to quickly get the locomotives back in operation.

An important part of the role is to document the work performed and ensure that they meet the requirements for traffic safety set by both LKAB and the Swedish Transport Administration. You work both independently and in collaboration with a team of repairers, engineers, planners and managers to develop and improve our work processes. Since the work often takes place on its own, both in the workshop and out in the field, a flexible and solution-oriented approach is required. The role also offers opportunities for development through both internal and external training.

What you bring to the table

You are self-driven and used to taking responsibility for driving your work forward, which is crucial in a role where you often work alone during your shift. You enjoy working independently and are confident in making your own decisions to solve problems and ensure high quality work. You have a structured and accurate approach to your work, while being a team player who enjoys working with others to achieve common goals. You are flexible and solution-oriented, which is crucial in a role where tasks can vary from day to day.

In addition, we see that you have:

  • B-driving license
  • High school education with a practical focus in electricity, mechanics, vehicles or the equivalent
  • Master Swedish in speech and writing

It is meritorious if you have:

  • High school education in heavy vehicle mechanics (meritorious)
  • Work experience in electricity or heavy vehicle mechanics (meritorious)
  • Work experience from railways (meritorious)

The position requires that you meet certain health requirements, such as good vision, normal color vision and good hearing.

What you get

  • Reward program
  • Free training at LKAB:s own gym and at our partners at the sites in Norrbotten
  • Free health care allowance and study support as well as access to art association, leisure association, mountain cabins and family activities
  • Enhanced parental allowance with up to 90 percent of your regular salary for up to six months (after employment for one year)
  • Help and support in case of illness or in matters of work environment, health, wellness and rehabilitation
