Process Engineer – Caster

Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement. At Stegra, we're building an impact-driven, sustainable company - and we need a diverse, inclusive team to make it happen.

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.

At Stegra, we're not just building a plant, we're proving that sustainable industry is possible. And to do that, we need people like you.

Join a team where safety comes first. Where we support each other, learn as we go, and make space for everyone to grow and contribute. This is your chance to be part of something big - while being closer to nature and leading a balanced, purposeful life.

Process Engineer – Caster

As our Process Engineer – Caster, you will join our Caster team within Steel Operations and play an important role in developing and optimizing our secondary metallurgy and continuous casting processes.

You will take technical and process ownership across Secondary Metallurgy, including Ladle Heating Furnace (LHF) and RH Vacuum Degassing, as well as our CSP Continuous Slab Caster and supporting processes.

Working closely with Production, Quality, Maintenance, Refractory and other engineering functions, you will help establish stable processes, solve technical challenges and continuously improve safety, quality, productivity and cost performance.

As we move through commissioning, ramp-up and into full production, you will have the opportunity to influence how our processes and ways of working are built from the ground up.

What You'll Do

As Process Engineer – Caster, you'll work close to both the process and our production teams, taking technical ownership and turning process data and metallurgical knowledge into practical improvements. Your responsibilities will include:

Take technical and process ownership of Secondary Metallurgy and Continuous Casting, including LHF, RH Vacuum Degassing, ladle and tundish practices, and the CSP Continuous Slab Caster.
Develop and optimize metallurgical practices to achieve the required steel chemistry, temperature, cleanliness, inclusion control and slab quality.
Monitor and optimize casting parameters and process performance to improve stability, productivity, metal yield and product quality while reducing defects and process deviations.
Analyze process and quality data, troubleshoot operational challenges, and lead or support root-cause investigations and corrective actions.
Develop and maintain process standards, operating practices, control plans and SOPs, while providing technical support and process training to production teams.
Work cross-functionally with Production, Quality, Maintenance, Refractory and Steelmaking teams to optimize the complete process from ladle treatment through to cast slab.
Support commissioning, process trials, development of new steel grades and continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, productivity, energy, alloy and refractory performance.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for a technically strong and hands-on Process Engineer with experience from steelmaking and a solid understanding of the metallurgical processes behind producing high-quality steel.

A degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or another relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
Solid Process Engineering experience, preferably within steelmaking, Secondary Metallurgy and/or continuous slab casting.
Strong knowledge of Secondary Metallurgy, including LHF/LF and RH processes, steel chemistry, temperature control, steel cleanliness and inclusion control.
Experience with continuous slab casting, including process optimization, casting productivity, slab quality and defect reduction.
Experience from projects, commissioning, plant start-ups or production ramp-up is considered a strong advantage.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with experience in root-cause analysis, process optimization and data-driven continuous improvement.
A collaborative and hands-on approach, with the ability to work effectively across Production, Quality, Maintenance and Engineering teams in an international environment.

Benefits At Stegra

At Stegra, you'll join a company where your work has real impact on the climate, the industry, and future generations. We're building a culture rooted in safety, trust, and inclusion, where people feel supported to grow and thrive.

You'll receive fair, competitive compensation aligned with collective agreements, along with benefits like up to 30 days of paid vacation, occupational pension, parental benefits, and insurance. If you need support with relocation or immigration, our relocation department will help guide you through the process, whether it's permits, housing or other practical matters. You can also enjoy perks like subsidized gym memberships and bike leases, plus the everyday benefits of life closer to nature.

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.
