Project manager to the team "Projects amp; Assignments- Test Rig Development

Scania is investing heavily in new technology areas such as electrification and self-driving vehicles, which involves both new constructions and refurbishment of existing lab equipment. This places demands on the section rig development and we are therefore looking for reinforcement to our team in project management.

As a Project manager, you’re in charge of both Scania-developed, purchased systems and machines. The work is carried out together and in close collaboration with the sister groups in mechanical-, electrical design, software development, our internal customers and also suppliers. The section works together towards a common goal- a world-class delivery, delivered on time, with the right quality and to the agreed price. The rigs we build and rebuild will generate measurement results during their lifetime, results that support technical decisions that will continue to develop Scania to lead the technology shift towards sustainable transports. The role of project manager involves cross-functional collaboration and the possibility to build a broad network within Scania Ramp;D is great.

Your work tasks

Together with your project team of technical resources, you will be handling incoming project requests from customers in the field of strength and fatigue testing in the way that creates the greatest possible value for Scania. We call this team a “samkörning” and you work towards a given number of segments/customers for which you become the "single point of contact". In addition to your team, you have a steering group consisting of customer representatives who are available for prioritization and escalations.

The projects that the team manages generally have a short turnaround time, which means you quickly see the results of your work. The variation in the work is high both in terms of products and customers and the conditions for improving your leadership and developing your team in steps are good.

You lead and distribute the work within your independent team in the way that suits you and your team best. For the team to perform at its best, you as a leader need to take an interest in and promote the well-being of the team members.

Your profile

As a person, you are a curious leader who is self-motivated and enjoys personal responsibility. You like to work with challenges and find it easy to collaborate with others and build relationships. Continuous improvement work is a natural part of your everyday work and you find it natural to bring it back to our common process.

You are most likely an engineer, you have work life experience in mechanical engineering or have experience in technical project management. You are passionate about learning new things and working with people. You like technology and are curious about how things work in general. You are involved in the customer's planning and are responsible for your project group's delivery into a larger context.

You communicate fluently in Swedish and English in both speech and writing. Experience in mechanical design work and drawing review is an advantage.

The Team

The project management team has extensive combined experience and consists of 11 employees and four consultants who support each other. Our customers need to continuously adapt their equipment for new test objects and requirements, therefore we have four project managers within the team who specialize in handling this type of undertaking. One of these four has chosen to move on within Scania and thus there is now the opportunity to take on this coveted position!

Your future manager conducts leadership based on trust, presence, and dialogue. I believe in freedom with responsibility and that my role as the group's leader is to give support to the group’s challenges and to have a close and present dialogue. I have extensive experience in leadership, both as a project manager and 1st line manager. With my background, I believe I know the "craft" and have the conditions to coach you moving forward. I am driven by commitment, development, and seeing colleagues grow. I believe that we are a team and that we deliver together. We help and support each other, are each other's work environment and we always do our best.
