Who we are
We are the Battery Life Cycle Services at Volvo Cars Service Business. Our new and growing DevOps organization consists of different teams organized as an agile release train (“ART”) working according to a Volvo specific agile model. Our purpose is to provide hassle free usage for consumers by creating maximum value throughout the Battery lifecycle.
We are responsible for three products where we develop solutions: Battery Repair, Battery Repurposing and Battery Recycling.
We are also operating three Regional Battery Centers to secure battery pack replacement supply for the aftermarket as well as fulfilling Volvo Cars strategy for electric vehicle batteries post 1st life. The Battery Center manages storage, analyse, and repair/remanufacture as well as build BEV and PHEV battery packs.

What do we offer?
A key activity to transition the aftermarket to electrification is the establishment of Regional Battery Centers within our aftermarket function, VCO. The purpose of the Battery Centers is to ensure the availability of HV battery packs in the aftermarket and meet Volvo Cars' strategy for automotive batteries, beyond the first life cycle. The Battery Centre functions include storage, distribution, troubleshooting, analysis, and repair/rebuild/new build of HV battery packs for both hybrid (PHEV) and electric cars (BEV).

As a Battery Operator, you will be part of the team at the Battery Center EMEA, geographically located at Volvo Cars Torslanda, one of several regional Battery Centers that are being established. You will have a unique opportunity to be part of an exciting journey of change in electrification and the building of a new function within VCO. Your responsibility will be to troubleshoot, analyze, repair, and build battery packs.
Working hours are 06.30-15.12 with the possibility of flex.

What will you do?
Your responsibilities will be troubleshooting, analyzing, sorting, and repairing incoming BEV and PHEV battery packs from our workshops, to later include rebuilding and remanufacturing of HV battery packs.
You will work on continuous improvement within your area of responsibility.  The work involves close collaboration with other functions within VCO.
