SSAB Special Steels is now looking for more system designers (automation engineers) for our production facility in Oxelösund who want to join us on the exciting transition journey we are facing.

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.

As part of SSAB, you will be important in realizing this goal and thus contribute to a green transition of the entire steel industry.
