Stegra Boden AB is seeking a **Process Engineer** specializing in hydrogen production and direct reduction for its Green Iron Operations. Working within a cross-functional environment, the position delivers day-to-day engineering support to maintain safe, stable, and efficient plant operations. Key duties include monitoring plant performance, troubleshooting upsets, conducting root cause analyses, and optimizing operations through process modelling, heat and mass balances, and debottlenecking. The role actively contributes to commissioning, start-ups, shutdowns, and engineering documentation such as PFDs, P&IDs, and SOPs, while driving continuous improvement projects and advancing safety protocols including hydrogen standards and PTW/LOTO compliance. Applicants must hold an **engineering degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related discipline**, alongside solid process engineering experience in heavy industry or continuous process environments, such as gas processing, hydrogen production, steel, refining, or petrochemicals. Candidates need proven experience supporting commissioning, start-ups, operational improvements, or process optimization, as well as a strong command of process engineering fundamentals. **Fluency in English**, both written and spoken, is required; Swedish language proficiency is considered an advantage.
Right now, we are looking for a Process Engineer – Hydrogen Production & Direct Reduction for our Green Iron Operations. The team is responsible for optimizing process performance, supporting safe and stable operations, and driving continuous improvements across our hydrogen production and direct reduction plants.
Specific to this role, the day-to-day tasks will include the following, but as we are a growing company with very few silos between teams, other tasks might be included as well.
- Provide day-to-day process engineering support to ensure safe, stable, and efficient plant operations.
- Monitor plant performance, troubleshoot process upsets, and lead root cause analyses to improve reliability and operational excellence.
- Optimize process performance through process modelling, heat and mass balances, debottlenecking, and energy efficiency initiatives.
- Support hydrogen production and direct reduction operations during commissioning, start-ups, shutdowns, and operational changes.
- Review and develop engineering documentation, including PFDs, P&IDs, process calculations, SOPs, and process control strategies.
- Collaborate with Operations, Maintenance, Automation, and OEM partners to improve process performance and implement engineering solutions.
- Drive continuous improvement projects, monitor production KPIs, and prepare technical reports to support data-driven decision-making.
- Promote safe operations by supporting process safety activities, hydrogen safety standards, PTW/LOTO compliance, and technical training.
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.
Specific to this role, we'd like to see that you bring:
- A degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
- Solid experience in process engineering within heavy industry or continuous process environments, such as hydrogen production, gas processing, petrochemical, steel, refining, or similar industries.
- Experience supporting commissioning, start-ups, process optimization, or operational improvements in an industrial setting.
- A strong understanding of process engineering fundamentals, with the ability to analyse complex systems and turn insights into practical solutions.
- Confidence working across disciplines and collaborating with Operations, Maintenance, Automation, Engineering, and external partners to achieve shared goals.
- A proactive, structured, and safety-first approach, with a continuous improvement mindset.
- Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken. Swedish is an advantage but not a requirement.
