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.
What you'll do
Right now, we are looking for a Process Engineer – Hydrogen Production & Direct Reduction for our Green Iron Operations. The team is responsible for optimizing process performance, supporting safe and stable operations, and driving continuous improvements across our hydrogen production and direct reduction plants.
Specific to this role, the day-to-day tasks will include the following, but as we are a growing company with very few silos between teams, other tasks might be included as well.
Provide day-to-day process engineering support to ensure safe, stable, and efficient plant operations.
Monitor plant performance, troubleshoot process upsets, and lead root cause analyses to improve reliability and operational excellence.
Optimize process performance through process modelling, heat and mass balances, debottlenecking, and energy efficiency initiatives.
Support hydrogen production and direct reduction operations during commissioning, start-ups, shutdowns, and operational changes.
Review and develop engineering documentation, including PFDs, P&IDs, process calculations, SOPs, and process control strategies.
Collaborate with Operations, Maintenance, Automation, and OEM partners to improve process performance and implement engineering solutions.
Drive continuous improvement projects, monitor production KPIs, and prepare technical reports to support data-driven decision-making.
Promote safe operations by supporting process safety activities, hydrogen safety standards, PTW/LOTO compliance, and technical training.
What you'll bring
You're curious and believe that real progress happens when we work together. You're not afraid to challenge old ways of thinking—and you treat others with respect while doing it. At Stegra, we value people who take initiative, build trust, and help create a workplace where everyone can do their best.
Specific to this role, we'd like to see that you bring:
A degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
Solid experience in process engineering within heavy industry or continuous process environments, such as hydrogen production, gas processing, petrochemical, steel, refining, or similar industries.
Experience supporting commissioning, start-ups, process optimization, or operational improvements in an industrial setting.
A strong understanding of process engineering fundamentals, with the ability to analyse complex systems and turn insights into practical solutions.
Confidence working across disciplines and collaborating with Operations, Maintenance, Automation, Engineering, and external partners to achieve shared goals.
A proactive, structured, and safety-first approach, with a continuous improvement mindset.
Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken. Swedish is an advantage but not a requirement.

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.
