Who are we?

As the Scania product portfolio expands within electrified and autonomous transport solutions, the development and sourcing of electronic components and cable harnesses to Scania products require a higher pace than before.

You will be responsible for managing prototype and spare part orders, as well as follow-up of deliveries. You will also support the team of project purchasers with various tasks, such as sending request for quotations, negotiating, placing orders, sending PPAP requests and managing product changes.
