In the roofs over our heads, in the bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB we are proud of our history and leadership in high-strength steel.

Words from your future manager

"I have the great privilege of heading a global team of 6 dedicated people. Personally I´m located in Copenhagen, Denmark and the team members are located in Sweden, Germany, The United States and Japan. Since we can´t meet on a daily basis there is a lot of freedom under responsibility in the job and in our team we have an informal tone based on mutual respect.

If you are someone who enjoys working in an international busy environment and able to deliver results then I believe you would fit perfectly into our team.."
