NCC Green Industry Transformation

Sweden is facing a historic transformation. Heavy industry is undergoing a shift, paving the way for a fossil-free future that creates significant value in terms of economic growth, technological development, and the environment. As an important part of community development in northern Sweden—where some of the most critical investments are taking place—we are now seeking a driven Quality Specialist, a key role in one of our complex projects in Northern Sweden.

About the role as a Quality Specialist

As a Quality Specialist, you will support a specific part of the production team within the project. We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of quality matters and build and implement processes to ensure that we meet the highest standards.

You will work both strategically and operationally to ensure that quality standards are followed across all construction phases. You will drive quality improvements by analyzing the results of quality reviews and developing improvement proposals. Your work will involve both internal quality assurance and external audits.

Responsibilities

• Establish and implement quality standards and quality control plans
• Be responsible for documenting quality deviations
• Train and support the project in quality-related matters
• Compile and present quality documentation to the client
• Manage external quality requirements and collaborate with the client on quality matters
• Conduct internal audits of subcontractors and suppliers
• Support external audits and inspections
• Challenge and develop quality practices through proactive improvement initiatives

Your profile as a Quality Specialist

To thrive and succeed in this role, we believe you have:

• Experience in quality management within large-scale construction or industrial projects
• Understanding of certifications and quality standards
• The ability to combine a holistic approach with strong attention to detail
• The capability to independently build and implement processes
• A drive to develop and improve quality practices
• Confidence in handling documentation, reporting, and presentations
• Strong collaboration skills and experience working closely with both clients and suppliers
• Excellent communication skills in English and/or Swedish at a professional level
• The ability to communicate clearly and effectively, build rapport, and engage confidently with stakeholders at all levels

Location

On-site presence in the city of Luleå (North of Sweden) is set to at least 50% of working hours—and at certain periods, the role will require close to full-time presence on site in Luleå. This is a prerequisite for succeeding in the role. However, it is possible to take on this exciting opportunity even if you are based elsewhere in Sweden, provided you have good travel options to Luleå (e.g., Boden, Piteå, Skellefteå, Stockholm, Uppsala, etc.). NCC will arrange travel and accommodation within Sweden.

For this position, background checks are conducted in accordance with NCC’s security culture.

Swedish Work Permit

Candidates should have the legal right to work in Sweden. Preference will be given to those already based in Sweden or within the EU.
