Shaping the future

At LKAB, we are leading the transformation of our industry toward a sustainable future. Just as we aim to reshape the world, we are committed to developing every individual on our team, both personally and professionally. Are you ready to help shape the future of the mining and mineral industry?

The roles

The geophysics team employs a range of geophysical methods, including potential field, electromagnetic and seismic surveys. Downhole geophysical logging is also frequently used in connection with the drilling. The project range covers near-mine to greenfield exploration, and the former can involve underground work. The geophysics group also supports projects within other areas of the company and is involved in R&D projects in cooperation with universities or other research institutes.

The work duties typically include fieldwork, some data processing, and sometimes also writing shorter reports. You will work together with geologists, technicians, drillers, and other geophysicists, sometimes from external organizations.

What you bring

Please note: Eligibility to work in Sweden is a mandatory requirement for this summer employment, and we are unable to provide employer sponsorship for summer workers.
