Purchaser – Sheet Metal

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Are you eager to make business? And do you want to work in an international environment? Do you want to be part of team which works as a team? If yes, now you have the opportunity! 

The sheet metal project purchasing team is now in a very exciting phase sourcing projects within both electrification and product updates. We are seeking a new colleague and star to join our high-performing team and source the future together with us.

This is us

There is also the possibility to work from home some days of the week thanks to the modern remote work systems.

As a manager for the sheet metal team, I put a lot of energy and time in having employees entering and leaving the office with a big smile and energy to cope with the challenges at both work and private.
