Enthusiastic Buyer for Forging Commodity

We are looking of an enthusiastic purchasing professional to join Volvo Group’s journey towards a sustainable and desired transport provider.


We are no longer a conventional commercial vehicle company. An increasing global population, booming e-commerce and a growing, connected middle class contribute to rising demand for construction and transportation. Climate change, congested cities, hazardous road and working conditions call for future transportation technology and systems solutions that are safer, cleaner and more efficient.
This transformation journey both needs to be sustainable for the success of Volvo Group and for the survival of our planet. Our ambition is that 100% of our products are fossil fuel free enabled from 2040.
Here is where you come into the picture.
You, our hopefully soon to be new colleague will be taking the lead in driving Forging business. You will be based in Gothenburg, work in a truly global team and have a purchasing responsibility focusing on areas such as:
Taking the driver seat and own the business you will be responsible.
Sourcing of forged parts and strive for survival of our planet when doing so.
Committed to negotiating and securing competitive and quality secured agreements.

Renewing tools, securing raw material updates competitively and consistent with the market.
Collaborate to optimizing the supplier base focusing on quality, capacity, cost management and sustainability.
