A co-worker in the Process industry

For those who enjoy technology

The process industry is one of Sweden’s most important industries for the future, offering a wide range of exciting career opportunities for people who enjoy technology, problem-solving, and working with modern machinery and digital systems.

Within the forest products and process industries, products such as pulp, paper, sawn timber, biofuels, and many other everyday essentials are manufactured and used around the world.

Our workplaces are highly advanced and technology-driven, with a strong focus on automation, robotics, sustainability, and smart manufacturing. This creates excellent opportunities for those who enjoy hands-on work, as well as for those who aspire to develop into technicians, engineers, or future leaders.

There are several pathways into the industry. You can begin by studying industrial technology, electrical engineering and automation, or a similar vocational program in high school, and then choose to enter the workforce directly or continue your education at a vocational college or university. Whichever path you choose, job prospects are excellent, as the industry will need many new employees in the years ahead.

A career in the Process industry may be right for you if you:

  • Enjoy technology and machinery
  • Want a career with strong future prospects
  • Like problem-solving and practical work
  • Are interested in sustainability and the industry of the future
  • Want opportunities for professional growth and career development

Career opportunities include roles such as process technician, automation technician, operations technician, maintenance technician, engineer, or production manager. SCA also offers internships, summer jobs, trainee programs, and excellent opportunities to grow within the company.

Today, the process industry is a modern and sustainable sector where people, technology, and innovation work together to create the solutions of tomorrow.
