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?

Your role

As a Planning Engineer, you will be a key contributor in ensuring efficient, safe, and long-term sustainable mine production.

You will join a planning team that drives the mine’s long-term development and supports the organization in projects and investigations. The group is characterized by strong teamwork, high competence, and a shared ambition to develop the production of the future. Here, you will have the opportunity to make an impact and grow together with committed colleagues.

You are structured, solution-oriented, and possess analytical abilities that enable you to thrive in a role where planning, problem-solving, and business communication go hand in hand.

You communicate clearly, work without prestige, and easily build trusting relationships both within the team and across other functions in the mine.
