Enthusiastic purchasing professional to join Volvo Group’s Journey

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.


Our vision is to be the most desired & successful transport & infrastructure solution provider in the world, and in a sustainable way.

Renewing tools, securing raw material updates competitively and consistent with the market.
