Project leader Energy and Power systems

LKAB already produces the world's most climate-efficient iron ore pellets at the mines and processing plants in Malmberget, Svappavaara and Kiruna. But we will be better - much better. Our aim is to transition our entire current production from coal and oil to CO2-free electricity and hydrogen. Fossil-free fuels represent intermediate steps in our journey towards achieving complete carbon neutrality. We will further advance along the value chain and develop our iron ore pellet into pure iron, so-called sponge iron, which is also completely CO2-free. The challenge is enormous and will require 70TWh of energy to be brought into our processes, where it will be further processed together with our high-quality iron ore into completely CO2-free iron.
 

About the role

The department for Technology & Energy with its new section "Energy & Hydrogen" has the mission to organize and develop a team with energy and hydrogen competence needed to transform LKAB. We will move from conventional production methods of iron oxide, using fossil fuels, to our future production of iron using hydrogen.

As a project leader in the energy sector, you'll play a key role in driving the development and conducting business assessments for energy-related initiatives, encompassing both current operations and future production systems within LKAB.

If you're eager to contribute and delve into Sweden's most innovative industries, all while surrounded by some of the most stunning landscapes the region has to offer, then this opportunity is perfect for you!

This is what you bring with you

You should be a motivated individual with a background in the energy/power sector and a proven track record of effectively leading large-scale projects, especially during their early development phases. A profound enthusiasm for technology and proficiency in CO2 transformation are indispensable.

To excel in this role, effective communication and co-operation skills are essential. We value experiences within following fields: building energy systems, power production, energy modelling, fossil fuel transformation and energy market analysis.

In addition, you also have:

• An academic degree, master’s degree or equivalent.
• We both strive for and have diversity in our organization with several different nationalities. Therefore, good knowledge of both Swedish and English is a requirement.
• We are keen to have a welcoming, curious, accepting, and open climate. To thrive in our organization, you should also be motivated and develop in such an atmosphere.

For all our positions, a driving license is required. The job will be based in Gällivare, Kiruna, Luleå or Stockholm.

What you get

• Health care and study support, as well as access to an art club, leisure club, mountain huts and family activities.
• Part of the group’s reward program.
• Enhanced parental allowance of up to 90% of regular salary for up to six months (after one year of employment).
• Help and support in case of illness or in matters of work environment, health, wellness, and rehabilitation.
• Reimbursement for dental care and terminal glasses.
• Possibility to apply for scholarships for studies for both you and your children.
• Opportunity to join our pension and insurance program with preferential rates.
