Buyers and Senior buyers for E-mob, Electronics, Hydrogen Solutions

‘I love that no day is the other day alike.’
‘I love to work in truly global context with internal and external stakeholders from all over the globe.’
‘I love to work in a fast-paced context where I learn a lot and have great colleagues.’
‘To work here is a great school for people that really want to become Purchasing professionals. I have learnt and experienced so much.’


When asking some of our ‘co-responsibles’ about what they love about their job those are examples of the answers we get. We would like to call the people in the teams ‘co-responsibles’ rather than ‘co-workers’ as that is how we would like everyone to feel. We are all in this game together and every person counts to make a difference. Would you like to join our team to work together with us on the journey to build the future of sustainable transport solutions.


We are proud to be on a super exciting journey where we will grow our teams to be ready for committing to our long-term targets to be 100% fossil free, 100% safe and 100% more productive. To get there, sustainability needs to be at the heart of everything we do, and we thus need to grow our electromobility purchasing department. We are now looking for several buyers with different levels of seniority. We are both looking for commodity buyers, project buyers and segment leaders.
You can either submit your general application or you can apply to a specific position (project or commodity) or a specific area that you may be more interested in. The departments are:
Electromobility
Electronics and Energy Management
Hydrogen Solutions

Let's shape the world we want to live in. Join us and make a difference!
