Project Manager for Eco Efficiency in Crushing and Screening

Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions is a leading supplier of equipment, tools, parts, service and solutions for processing rock and minerals in the mining and construction industries. A growing part of the business area's offering is targeted towards more energy-efficient comminution, processes and technologies together with larger data sets to meet future customer requirements and put less stress on the environment.
For a project position within the EIT (European Institute for Innovation and Technology) project “Process Development and Optimization for Eco-Efficient Dry Comminution” we’re now looking for a researcher who’ll work as a project leader towards more sustainable dry comminution processes and thus, a brighter future. This project is running for six months with a preferred starting date of April 1st. An interesting opportunity to work with sustainability in a practical context, and a chance to join us on a very important journey!
Your mission
In this project position, your six-month long mission is to examine, calculate and document different comminution methods in terms of energy consumption and find out the optimum grind size – knowledge which you in turn deliver to the project. Your job includes developing calculation methods to follow the energy consumption through the different stages of the crushing and screening process, and to compare different processes – where you successively develop a way of working.
As Project Manager, you are responsible for the method scope – from choosing software tools and investigating which equipment to include, to deciding if different energy sources and carbon footprints should be considered and whether or not to include blasting, loading and hauling. Reaching out and collaborating with our customers who are doing the research, you apply your methods on site to find the most sustainable options. Thereby, this project would normally include a lot of travelling in the Nordic region which will be resumed if the circumstances allow to. You are based at our site in Svedala.
Your character
We’re looking for someone with a background within research and science, with a MSc or PhD degree in a relevant field and experience from research projects and the documentation involved. You are used to work in the Office suite, including Excel. As we act in an international environment, good written and verbal English is necessary, while Swedish is beneficial.
We value your personal qualities – characterized by your curiosity and genuine interest in the field, combined with an eye for details and thoroughness, as you keep solid documentation and traceability of your work. You have the self-motivation, independence and grit it takes to keep going even when the road ahead is not crystal clear. As a good communicator, you are outgoing and easily establish new connections as well as expressing yourself in a representative way in written text in contact with major stakeholders and project partners such as well recognized authorities in the mining industry.
