Become part of our journey towards fossil free steel from an IT perspective!

We are looking for you to join SSAB Special Steels as an IT Manager in a time of change and development of working methods in connection with our implementation of both new production planning systems and business systems (SAP S4/Hana). You will be part of a highly skilled global team located in Sweden, USA, China and Europe who are all enthusiastic about developing and transforming our IT systems and processes.

To become part of the SSAB family means to join a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the future of the planet and sustainability.

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 the green transition of the entire steel industry.
