Just as we want to improve the future, we want to develop everyone who is part of our journey, personally and professionally. Do you want to be part of laying the foundation for the life we live and that builds the world around us?
Your Role
The Mine Planning Department in Kiruna is now looking for a production geologist with a focus on underground tunnel mapping and drill core logging.
In this role, you will work closely with our mine geologists, structural geologists, specialists, technicians, diamond drillers, rock mechanics technicians, and other mine employees. Here, collaboration, responsibility, and a strong safety awareness are valued.
Your tasks include geological mapping of rock in tunnels as they are being driven, drill core mapping, and visits to drilling sites underground. As one of the world's largest underground iron ore mines, you will be among the first to examine the newly exposed rock. You gather relevant geological, structural, and geotechnical information that forms the basis for important decisions in mine planning.
The position offers a varied and dynamic work environment where you get to experience the high-quality ore of Kiruna Mine up close and contribute to meeting the unique challenges and demands that large-scale mining operations entail.
What You Bring
To thrive in this role, we see that you have an analytical approach and work well both independently and with others. You value quality and contribute to a positive and supportive team climate. You are communicative, take initiative, and work in a responsible and flexible manner.
We expect you to have:
Master's degree or Bachelor's degree in geology, geotechnics, geoscience, or equivalent is a requirement
B-class driver's license for manual transmission is a requirement
Good skills in Swedish and English, both spoken and written, are a requirement
Previous experience working in an underground mine and/or geological mapping of tunnels is a merit
Previous experience with geological mapping software is a merit
Previous experience working in cross-functional teams is a merit
