Junior Business Controller for Scania Purchasing

Scania Purchasing is responsible for purchasing products and services for all of Scania's units in the world. The Head office for Purchasing is in Södertälje. Purchasing is currently divided into four departments; two are responsible for purchasing direct materials for Scania's trucks, buses, and Power solutions and two are responsible for purchasing spare parts, superstructures, and indirect materials. Scania is currently in a shift from being a supplier of heavy vehicles to a supplier that offers complete and sustainable transport solutions. In parallel with this, Scania is leading the development of large common projects within TRATON, so this position at Purchasing will also give a chance for collaboration within the TRATON group.
