LCA Quality & Sustainability to Polestar, Gothenburg

Polestar is the independent electric performance car brand founded by Volvo Cars and Geely Holding. In 2017, Polestar launched the Polestar 1 – a low-volume Electric Performance Hybrid GT. In 2020, the Polestar 2 was launched as the company’s first fully electric, higher volume premium car designed to compete with the Tesla Model 3. In the future, Polestar 3 will join the portfolio as a fully electric performance SUV.

Role

Polestar is blazing a new trail, dedicating ourselves to the development and refinement of electric vehicle performance and to improve the society we live in.

Your contribution will help us develop what we have achieved so even further. As a part of our Quality & Sustainability team you will take the lead in driving the LCA process into the development. Your scope will primarily be LCA and Carbon footprint.

If you are an innovative, open-minded person who believes that electrification is a part of a sustainable future of our planet, we would like to hear from you.
