Are you ready for a new challenge as a Rock Mechanic in one of Sweden’s most stunning and unique regions? We are looking for a skilled rock mechanic, or mine engineer, to monitor and analyse ground deformations in Malmberget Mine, one of the largest mines in the world. You will work together with a multidisciplinary team using direct and indirect methods, providing expert advice and reporting to support our operation and our urban transformation team. If you have experience in rock mechanics and mining (or tunnelling), this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

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 Rock Mechanic, your primary responsibility will be to forecast and monitor ground deformations above ground using a variety of methods. You will provide expert advisory reports and support various areas of LKAB with your knowledge. In this role, you will:
Monitor ground deformations directly using GPS and indirectly with instruments like InSAR, Fotogrammetri, Orthofoto, and LiDAR.
Analyze and report your findings to both internal stakeholders and external authorities.
Offer expert advice on ground deformation issues and support operational planning.
Contribute to the improvement of work methods for enhanced efficiency in the Malmberget operations.
Working in a geotechnical drilling campaign.


You will report to the Group Manager – Mine Planning and be part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and respect for work-life balance. Living and working in the far north of Sweden, you will experience a vibrant community surrounded by breathtaking nature, all while enjoying a supportive environment that encourages personal and professional growth. As part of the team, you will have the flexibility to balance your career with your personal life, allowing you to thrive both inside and outside of work.

In addition to working for one of the world's leading mining companies, you will enjoy the benefits of Swedish culture, enabling you to appreciate your family, hobbies, and daily work in an unbeatable environment.


What you bring
We are looking for someone who can combine technical expertise with effective communication and teamwork. To succeed in this role, you should have:
Relevant university degree, such as rock engineer, civil engineer, geologist, or similar.
Hands-on working experience in rock mechanics, with a focus on deformation and subsidence control.
Strong analytical skills and experience in monitoring methods and software.
The ability to report and present findings clearly to a range of audiences.
Fluency in English is required, and proficiency in Swedish is desirable but not a must.
A valid driver’s license (equivalent to Swedish Class B).
