Are you the one?

Are you communicative, structured and driven? Do you have a technical education in industry, electricity or automation? Then you are welcome to apply for the position of automation technician today. You will get to work in a highly competent group of colleagues in electricity and automation.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining us on a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the future of the planet and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for the development of our society and will continue to be so in the future. In our homes, in bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and our leadership in high strength steel. At the same time, we are aware that steel production is one of the industries that emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. This must change. We have therefore developed the world's first fossil-free process for steel production and around 2030 we will be largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB, you will play an important role in realizing this goal and thus contribute to a green transition of the entire steel industry.

About the position

The task of the Maintenance section is to provide competent and efficient maintenance services to ensure a high operational availability of our plant and production equipment.

Maintenance automation technicians are locally organized/located and interact in all organizational levels within production.

At SSAB, we have a group-organized way of working, which places demands on your and the work group's ability to independently drive the work process from planning to execution and follow-up.

The role of automation technician includes tasks such as preventive maintenance, deeper troubleshooting, fault analysis and development of existing equipment and systems. As an electrical and automation technician, you are an important cog in the work towards a higher degree of automatic condition-based maintenance. As you are technically skilled in your field, you are helpful with questions from the entire production organization linked to maintenance.

Working hours are daytime.

Your main responsibilities are

  • Preventive maintenance.
  • Deeper troubleshooting.
  • Fault analysis and development of existing equipment and systems.

About you

  • We are looking for you who have a technical education in electricity or automation at least at upper secondary level.
  • If you have experience from industry, the process industry or similar activities and have also worked with Siemens S7, ABB AC450, ABB 800xA, ACS600, ACS800, ACS 880, instrument and combustion technology, process meters and AC / DC drives or similar tasks, it is an advantage, but not a requirement.
  • It is also desirable that you have experience of networks and IT systems.
  • Good knowledge of Swedish and English is a requirement as documentation and communication with suppliers takes place in these languages.
  • Driving license B is a requirement for the service.
  • You are a careful and structured person.
  • To thrive in the role, we believe that you have the ability to work both independently and in groups.
  • You need to be able to take initiative and be driven in your work when the situation requires.
  • As you will be working closely with both internal and external colleagues, we are looking for you who are communicative and feel confident in making contact with different roles and positions within the organization, both internal and external.
