The best day in a process industry is rarely the most eventful one.
It's the day when production flows smoothly, equipment functions as it should, and operations deliver without disruptions. For most, it's just a regular workday. For someone working with operational reliability, it's the result of hundreds of decisions, analyses, and improvements made long before anything can go wrong. That's exactly where this role makes a difference.
To NG Nordic's facility in Norrtorp, just outside Kumla, we are now recruiting a Maintenance Engineer who wants to help develop modern, preventive, and data-driven maintenance. Here you combine analysis, technology, and improvement work with close collaboration in the operations. You become part of a dedicated maintenance team where knowledge sharing, teamwork, and the desire to develop together are a natural part of everyday work.
When technology becomes part of sustainability efforts
NG Nordic is a leading Nordic player in circular solutions and environmental services. At the Kumla facility, industrial waste is converted into energy and new resources – an operation where advanced process technology meets a clear societal mission.
Every improvement that increases the facility's availability means more than stable production. It also contributes to more efficient resource use, reduced environmental impact, and operations that can meet future demands.
That's why NG Nordic invests not only in technology and facilities, but also in the people who develop them.
A role with significant influence
As a Maintenance Engineer, you work close to production but with a clear future perspective. You analyze recurring disruptions, identify improvement opportunities, and turn technical insights into solutions that strengthen the facility's availability and robustness over time.
You report to the Maintenance Manager and work in close collaboration with other maintenance engineers, mechanics, electricians, production, contractors, and suppliers. The role involves many contact points and is built on close cooperation between different functions where you collectively drive development forward.
You switch between analysis, planning, and operations-focused work. One day you lead a root cause analysis, the next you plan a maintenance shutdown, participate in an investment project, or coordinate technical efforts with colleagues and external partners.
You will, among other things:
analyze recurring operational disruptions and conduct root cause analyses
develop preventive and corrective maintenance
plan, prepare, and follow up on maintenance activities
drive technical improvement and investment projects
plan and coordinate maintenance shutdowns
develop working methods and maintenance strategies
use Maximo and technical data as decision support
cooperate with production, technical specialists, contractors, and suppliers
contribute to high safety, stable operations, and increased availability
Work is primarily conducted during daytime hours. In connection with planned maintenance shutdowns or unplanned operational disruptions and emergencies, workload can be periodically higher. For someone who enjoys problem-solving and wants to contribute when it really matters, it's a natural and stimulating part of the role.
We believe you are driven by the desire to understand – not just fix
You likely have a university degree or engineering degree in mechanical engineering, maintenance, production technology, or equivalent. Alternatively, you have built up equivalent competence through several years of experience from process industry or other technically advanced operations.
You enjoy combining analysis and structure with an operations-focused approach. For you, good maintenance is not just about solving today's problems, but about understanding the root cause, creating long-term improvements, and contributing to a more stable and reliable facility.
If you have experience from process industry, improvement work, investment projects, or work in Maximo, we see this as a merit.
We would also like you to have a driver's license as well as good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written.
You are curious and analytical and enjoy understanding how technology, processes, and people work together. At the same time, you are unpretentious and like to share your knowledge. You thrive in an environment where people help each other, take shared responsibility, and together find solutions when challenges arise.
You work in a structured manner and drive your work forward independently, but also appreciate being part of a team where different competencies complement each other.
Why we think you will thrive here
At NG Nordic, maintenance is a central part of the operation and an important prerequisite for safe, stable, and sustainable production. Here you become part of a knowledgeable maintenance team where everyone has their own areas of responsibility, but where collaboration is a natural part of everyday work.
You can see it in the daily work. You have joint morning meetings, eat lunch together, and work closely with both production and each other. Knowledge is shared openly and there is a strong willingness to help each other when someone needs support or a different perspective. It creates a work environment where it's easy to ask questions, contribute ideas, and develop together.
You get a manager who is present in the operations, available in everyday work, and clear with both expectations and feedback. At the same time, you get great freedom to take responsibility, drive improvements, and influence how maintenance work develops forward.
There are also good opportunities to broaden your competence. The role spans analysis, technology, project management, and improvement work, which means you get to work with varying issues and see the results of your work over time.
For someone who wants to combine engineering expertise with a clear sustainability mission, there is an opportunity here to make a real difference, both for the facility, the operation, and the environment.
