SSAB Special Steels is embarking on an exciting Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) conversion program in Oxelösund, aimed at enhancing our production capabilities and sustainability. We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Project Controller to join our Business Control team in Oxelösund. This role is pivotal for ensuring effective project control for the EAF conversion program in Oxelösund, as well as other large strategic projects at the site. The Project Controller will oversee all finance activities related to these projects and will serve as the primary contact for project managers.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is essential for the sustainability of this planet. Steel has been one of the most important materials for developing our society and it will continue to be so. 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. But we are also aware that the production of steel is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. That has to change.

As part of SSAB you will be instrumental in realizing this goal and push for the green transformation of the whole steel industry.
