Headhunter
SaltX is on a mission to erase industries’ dependency on fossil fuels, starting with the limestone and cement industries that stands for more than 8% of the world’s CO2 emissions. We innovate and industrialize electrification technologies aiming to make a shift in the gigaton scale to reach net-zero industrial emissions.
SaltX creates value by being a strategic partner to heavy-emission industries that are committed to decarbonize their operations. The industrial dependency on fossil-fuel in high temperature heating industries can finally become history thanks to our patented innovation- the Electric Arc Calciner (eAC). Our electric plasma technology replaces fossil-driven heating with renewable electricity and captures the CO2 emissions released during the heating process.


We are now looking for a Process Automation & Electrical Lead who wants to join our dedicated, diverse team and drive sustainable change, taking our processes from pilot plant to commercial scale – driving the technology to full industrialization.

Process Automation & Electrical Lead 
As a Process Automation & Electrical Lead at SaltX, you will play a key role in the development and industrialization of cutting-edge energy technologies. Working within a dedicated team of approximately ten engineers and reporting to Head of Engineering, you will be responsible for leading the electrical and automation functions in projects, ensuring solutions are delivered successfully. Your work will span all project phases, from pilot plant development to full-scale industrial applications, combining technical innovation with structured delivery processes.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Serve as SaltX’s technical lead for all electrical and automation aspects across customer delivery projects, pilot installations, and scale-up efforts.
  • Define system-level requirements and interface specifications for electrical and automation systems, based on process needs, customer input, and internal standards.
  • Lead technical discussions with subcontractors, consultants, and customers to ensure robust, high-quality, and fit-for-purpose solutions.
  • Support commissioning phases and critical field activities as needed, and contribute to continuous system improvements over time.
What you’ll bring
To thrive at SaltX we believe that it is important that our values correlate with yours. We also believe that you have the following qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related field.
  • A solid foundation in electrical and automation engineering, with hands-on experience from industrial systems such as PLC/DCS, SCADA, and instrumentation.
  • Ability to turn engineering needs into clear technical specifications, lead workstreams, and manage supplier and subcontractor interfaces with confidence.
  • Experience working in cross-functional industrial projects alongside customers, subcontractors, and internal engineering teams.
  • A genuine interest in sustainability and technology-driven scale-ups. You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity, taking initiative, and working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential. Proficiency in Swedish is also an advantage.
What sets you apart
  • Have a "can-do' attitude and an entrepreneurial spirit combined with a strong focus on meeting deadlines and budgets.
  • Ability to work well with others in a multi-cultural team environment, as well as independently.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, balancing multiple priorities.
  • A strong commitment to sustainability and a desire to make a real-world impact.

Top of form
Every day we challenge ourselves and others to erase industries’ dependence on fossil fuels.  We do this by being innovative, caring and collaborative. Research indicates that women and other under-represented groups in our industry often hesitate to apply for a position unless they meet the majority of the requirements outlined in the job description. If you share our passion for the green transition, but feel uncertain because your experience may not perfectly align with the qualifications specified in the job advertisement, we strongly encourage you to apply nonetheless. At SaltX, we are doing things that haven’t been done before and believe that fostering a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative team is crucial in advancing our mission to decarbonize the quicklime and cement industries.
