**Part of Something Bigger**
Svevia's industrial division is in an expansive phase, and the ambitions are high. The goal is to be a leading player in paving in Sweden.
Behind every road lies more than just the visible surface: a whole industry of knowledge and delivery capability. Our offering is an industrial process—from stone to finished road.
It all starts with a quarry, which then becomes aggregate, which in turn is used in the production of asphalt, which is finally laid on the road. With over 100 of our own quarries, in-house production of asphalt, bitumen emulsion, and thermoplastics, we have a breadth that no one else has. In our laboratories, we conduct material analyses and ensure that the products meet standards and requirements. Our skilled teams in milling, paving, tank coating, and road marking ensure that the delivery is complete.
**Why Svevia?**
Based on Svevia's strategies, goals, and values, you will have the conditions necessary to make a difference and contribute to the company's development. The decision-making paths are short, making it easy to influence and have your voice heard. Leadership is a focus for us, which means you will continuously have the opportunity to develop in your role.
We strive to be a workplace for everyone. We see it as a given that you will lead through your employees. It is as a team that we create success. That is how we do business and generate results. That is how we make cities and countryside function. Do you want to share the road with us?
**Application and Information**
This position is a permanent employment with a start date to be agreed upon. You can easily apply by submitting your CV and answering a few selection questions. Our recruitment process is based on a competency-based approach, which is essential
