Area Manager Hydrogen Manufacturing Plant

Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement. At Stegra, we're building an impact-driven, sustainable company - and we need a diverse, inclusive team to make it happen.

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 an Area Manager HMP for our Hydrogen Manufacturing Plant team. In this role you will sit within our Project Delivery function and take responsibility for the safe, efficient, and timely delivery of the HMP area.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Project Manager who is ready to take on broader responsibility. You will lead Project Managers and multidisciplinary teams across Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning, Quality, and Project Controls, while coordinating EPCM partners, OEMs, contractors, and other stakeholders to keep delivery moving.

Specific to this role, the day-to-day tasks will include the following but as we are a growing company with very little silos between teams, other tasks might be included as well.

• Lead and coordinate day-to-day delivery of the Hydrogen Manufacturing Plant area across scope, schedule, cost, quality, and safety
• Lead and support Project Managers and multidisciplinary teams, setting priorities and ensuring alignment across the area
• Coordinate EPCM partners, OEMs, contractors, and other external stakeholders and hold them accountable for delivery
• Own area-level planning and prioritization, including look-ahead planning and removal of execution constraints
• Monitor and challenge schedules, cost forecasts, risks, changes, and contractor performance
• Drive timely decision-making and escalate issues that could materially impact delivery
• Ensure strong coordination across Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning, Quality, and Project Controls
• Build a collaborative and accountable team environment with a strong focus on safe execution

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.

For this role, we are looking for someone with the ambition and capability to take on broader project leadership. You may already have Area Manager experience, or you may be an experienced Project Manager who is ready for the next step.

Specific to this role, we would like to see that you can tick off a fair amount of the boxes below

• Around 10 years of relevant experience in project management or project execution within large-scale industrial capital projects
• Proven experience leading complex work packages or multidisciplinary project delivery
• Experience from Oil & Gas, energy, process industry, hydrogen, chemicals, or similar process-intensive environments is strongly preferred

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.
