BATTERY PRODUCTION - Product Development Project Manager

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.Scania's ambition is to be a leader in the shift towards sustainable transport solutions. In this ambition, electrification plays an important role! 

Our business

In Battery Production, we are setting up three new production lines. We are in the middle of a phase where we train and build competence to manufacture battery packs and cable harnesses for tomorrow's products in e-mobility. The products and production structure are completely new and we, together with our colleagues, are currently starting up production of a product that will be critical for Scania's fulfillment of the CO2 goals.

I therefore need to strengthen my team in Product Development process with a new Project Manager that can help us in production industrialize the new products that are being developed.

Your tasks

As a PD Project Manager, you work primarily with Product Development projects where you work cross-functionality with R&D, Purchasing, After Market and internally within Battery Production to secure the introduction of the project into our operations.

This will include responsibilities such as: Break-down and follow-up on ME Product Development process deliveries from all departments in ME (Industrial Engineering, Logistics, Production, Quality, etc.) as well distribute project information to all the departments.

Be a first escalation level in the cross-functional work and support and coach the ME organization in how to solve the deviations that will appear in the Product Development process.

Represent ME in the relevant VCT and UX forums.

Is this you?

We are looking for you who engineering degree or have completed Scania's technician training and preferably have worked at least 3 years in a role where you have come into contact daily with Scania´s Product Development Process. We work in an international environment and the working language is English. Fluency in spoken and written English is thus a basic requirement and Swedish is a merit.

As a person, you are structured, able to plan and break-down deliveries and problems and drive towards the target by yourself. You should be able to handle complex questions and have the personal growth to adjust your leadership to the right situations. We also see that you are solution-focused and want to find best practice for developing the organization and are a team player because we need to have a good collaboration with our colleagues.

Our Team

Our battery production team at Scania is a new unit but we have already built a strong team. We help each other and continuously improve our cross-functional working methods to secure our processes. Our team today consists of 9 people, of which 3 are women. We have 5 different nationalities and 5 different home languages. We are a diverse group, but what we have in common is an attitude of continuous improvement and that we are building something new that will help Scania electrify the transport industry.

Who am I?

I, the recruiting manager Raissa, am a generalist with experience in product industrialization. Since my employees are the experts, my focus is on delegating and building a team with a positive culture where we can take help from each other. I do this in part by trying to support with finding the interfaces between the roles and helping with prioritization when needed. In addition to this, my goal is to always be available to my co-workers, which is something I strive for on a daily basis. For me, it is important that everyone feels seen, heard and feels that they are developing.
