What you’ll do

Right now, we are looking for a Project Manager for our Project Delivery team. In this role you will report to our Project Delivery leadership and sit within our Project Delivery function. The team is responsible for delivering large-scale industrial projects, ensuring safe, high-quality execution across engineering, procurement, and construction.

As Project Manager, you will be responsible for delivering assigned work packages from start to finish. You will coordinate across teams and contractors, ensuring that scope is delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

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 would like to see that you can tick off a fair amount of the boxes below

• 10+ years of experience in project management within large-scale industrial or infrastructure projects

  • Proven project or construction management experience from major greenfield or brownfield steel mill projects is required.

• Relevant degree in engineering, project management, or similar, or equivalent practical experience

But this is just the beginning. Our expertise in green hydrogen will enable us to decarbonize industries beyond steel, paving the way for a cleaner future.
