Project Manager

XORE is hiring for a project manager with a client-centric focus to handle international logistics and occasional sales support.

About XORE

Xore is an international supplier of analysis equipment for the mining industry. We’re a growing company with a foundational product technology that’s long been established in its sector.

Here, close collaboration with our clients is one of our greatest strengths, and it’s how we help them improve their operations along with our products. Together, we develop, optimize, and enhance instruments that increase efficiency. Each client’s needs are unique, so most innovative solutions are not “one size fits all.” Our head office is in the city of Skellefteå in the heart of Sweden’s mining industry, just 200 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle.
