Do you want to make a difference in a dynamic factory environment where you get to build relationships with stakeholders at different levels and coach managers on a broad range of HR topics? If yes, then this might be an opportunity just for you!

Essity – a leading global hygiene and health company and the home of brands like Libero, TENA, Libresse, Tork, Sorbact and JOBST is offering an exciting and challenging opportunity as we are looking for an additional colleague to join as an HR Generalist to our factory in Lilla Edet. Essity Edet Mill, with 400 employees, produces approx. 100,000 tons of paper in the form of toilet and kitchen paper per year.

The factory consists of several departments such as pulp processing, steam plant, papermaking, conversion, and logistics.

Our culture is focused on collaboration, innovation, well-being and care, development, and commitment. We’re looking for people who embody our values, aren’t afraid to challenge, innovate, experiment, and move at a fast pace. If this is you, we’d love to talk.
