If you share our passion but don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the perfect fit for this role, or another as we grow.

What you’ll do

Right now, we are looking for a Site Laboratory Lead for our Quality & Metallurgy team. As Site Laboratory Lead, you’ll take charge of daily lab operations in mechanical testing, driving efficiency, quality, and safety in a dynamic steel production setting. You’ll be the go-to expert for lab processes- refining procedures and promoting continuous improvement to keep our standards at their best.

Specific to this role, the day-to-day tasks will include the following but as we are a growing company with very little silos between teams, other tasks might be included as well.

• Keep the lab safe, clean, and fully compliant with all safety and quality standards.
• Lead and support mechanical testing, making sure every result is precise and reliable.
• Guide your team in using equipment confidently and maintaining smooth daily operations.
• Spot and solve issues early by reviewing data and improving testing processes.
• Work closely with other teams to keep testing efficient and continuously improve how the lab runs.

In the role as Site Laboratory Lead it's important that you are self-motivated and able to work with minimal supervision. You are detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and precision. You are reliable and adaptable to dynamic work environments and that you have strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot minor equipment issues. You also have: 

• Hands-on experience in a mechanical or materials testing lab, with curiosity and care for how things are made.
• Understanding of steel industry standards and testing methods, or eagerness to grow that expertise.
• Confident in coordinating lab work and being the go-to person for technical support and smooth teamwork.
• Safety-minded and precise.
• Comfortable using modern lab tools, data systems, and digital platforms.
• Very good communicator in English, with Swedish a welcome bonus.

This is Stegra

Stegra is on a mission to change the global steel industry by producing green hydrogen, iron, and steel - with the goal of eliminating CO₂ emissions. Instead of coal, we use green hydrogen and fossil-free electricity, meaning our primary emissions will be water and heat.

By 2030, our ambition is to produce 5 million tonnes of green steel annually in our fully integrated, digitized, and sustainable plant in Boden, Northern Sweden - currently under construction. But this is just the beginning. Our expertise in green hydrogen will enable us to decarbonize industries beyond steel, paving the way for a cleaner future.

Our Boden Site 

Our Boden site is located just west of Boden City, right in the heart of a growing green industrial hub in Northern Sweden. It’s where we’re building one of the world’s most modern, sustainable steel plants—designed with safety, efficiency, and people in mind. With just a 10-minute commute from town, you'll be close to both cutting-edge technology and the everyday convenience of living near nature, schools, and community life.
