No start is planned in spring 2023

As an quality technician in the new green industry that is emerging in Sweden and Europe, you have an important role in the development of a sustainable future.

Skellefteå is a growing European centre of the battery industry and the education will prepare you for a role as an automation operator.

Quality technicians works in clean and dry environments and due to automation, industrial work is no longer as heavy as it has been. The tasks involve quality control to ensure that the production/product quality specifications are met. Make sure that control checks are carried out according to the control plan. Interpret and report data and results. Define product/process issues and deviations and recommend improvements.

We would like to see both female and male applicants with education and/or experience in the field of industry or technology.

More starts will take place on an ongoing basis.
