Do you want to grow with us? As an Electrical Power Technician/Distribution Electrician, you will have a stimulating and challenging role with a strong focus on maintaining system operation as well as upgrading and renewing high voltage installations up to 145 kV. You will work together with experienced and committed colleagues, where we put a strong focus on the transformation SSAB is facing.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining 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.
