Digitalisation is one focus area and there are many strategic initiatives in the electric powertrain and transmission assembly organisation. The purpose of the unit is to provide possibilities – through IT systems and solutions – for the local organisation to implement new ways of working. The focus is on digital solutions, increase the knowledge in digitalisation and establish a stable IT environment without impact on direct run in our operations.

We believe you have


• a curious and assertive leadership style; you are utilising growth, inclusion, teamwork, and collaboration as your main tools to reach the desired state.
• enthusiasm and experience in developing strategic initiatives – explaining the path towards sustainable transports.
• understanding and the willingness to learn more in how the production system works and its interfaces towards IT.
