Project Coordinator

We are looking for a project coordinator with a chemical or technical background to join the department responsible for the development of new and the improvement of existing color and paint systems for the timber industry in Northern Europe. You will report to the research and development director and work in close collaboration with colleagues in other departments in Europe. Travel may be part of the job. Your duties will consist of troubleshooting/cause analysis, project presentations, and most importantly, decision support with responsible managers and project leaders.

Your work will mainly be project-based and span various surface treatment technologies. Your days will be divided between the office and the lab, where your work will alternate between practical and administrative tasks. You will be a key competence in existing data systems, and are expected to extract data and update systems. Your chemical and technical background will be used to ensure that technical data supports project goals. Some of your most common tasks will be, for example:

• Extract data for project leaders and the technical management group in Northern Europe
• Actively participate in theoretical and practical projects to meet set timelines. Based on test results, assess further work and optimization.
• Get to know internal processes and raw materials, as well as customers' processes and the requirements they place on our product.
• Coordinate various industry standards important for the business and customer requirements

Who Are You?

• University degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or materials science. Alternatively, equivalent work experience in a similar industry.
• Very good knowledge of the Swedish and English languages in both speech and writing as you will communicate daily in both languages.

It Is Meritorious If You Have:

• Experience in the color and surface treatment field.
• Language skills in German in addition to Swedish and English.
• B-driving license.
• Experience in C#, JavaScript, or Python.

To succeed in the role, we believe that you like to take initiative, work independently and in teams, present your own ideas, and make things happen. You are also precise, methodical, communicative, curious, and like to switch between theoretical and practical work in a varied environment where no day is ever the same as the next.

What We Offer

We offer the opportunity to work in an international company with many contacts and good development opportunities. Through collective agreements, health care contributions, and other benefits, we are a workplace that values your security and well-being. It is a permanent position preceded by a six-month probationary period with entry as soon as possible. Please note that you will undergo a pre-employment investigation before employment, which includes alcohol and drug tests.
