Forward Sourcer - Chassis Components

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.
At Procurement, we are supporting this journey by making sure we are continuously working with suppliers that are best in class in their field including cost, quality, delivery, and sustainability.
Are you attracted by working in a dynamic, international, and highly commercial environment where analytical and strategic skills are as important as the mindset that collaboration will lead us to great results?
Then Chassis Components team is the place for you.
Who we are
We are a diverse team consisting of ten team members with a mix of age, gender, and nationalities and with broad experience from within & outside of the company.
We all have our own areas of responsibility but take pride in supporting and challenging each other to find the best solutions for Scania.
Forming a climate where competence, as well as opinions, are openly shared is important for us.
Responsibilities
We see this position as the start of your career at Scania Procurement and offer interesting career paths for the right person.
As Forward Sourcer you will also take part in the sourcing of new serial parts and components within our development projects, being part of a cross-functional team with dedicated areas of responsibility.
You will have a lot of contacts internally at procurement but also cross functionally with R&D, production and logistics and our supplier base, giving you the opportunity to build a broad network within Scania and to really make a difference with your ideas and your daily work.
Your area of responsibility will grow continuously in step with your personal development.
Your profile
You have probably recently graduated from university and hold a degree in engineering, business administration or similar.
You have both a strong technical and commercial interest and thrive to learn how to do business.
To succeed in this role you need to be result-oriented, proactive and have the ability to drive several activities in parallel in a structured way. You like problem-solving.
As your work includes a lot of interactions at different levels, both internally and cross-functionally, it is important that you are a team player, have the ability to build trust and that you are clear in your communication with others.
You are eager to develop yourself and your role and you feel comfortable challenging yourself and others in order to achieve the best result – you present solutions instead of obstacles.
Knowledge of Swedish is an advantage, fluent in spoken and written English is a requirement.
