Manager Field test & Measurement Support

In a changing world with new customer requirements a status quo is not an option. The wind of change is not only showing its best side at Volvo’s Groups hometown Gothenburg, the wind of change is also all over the world. New solutions and technologies are not any longer an option. It is a must.


I asked my colleagues how they would describe the Volvo Penta and all of them had something in common. They all describe Volvo Penta as a great place to work, built upon respect and commitment. At Volvo Penta, we strongly believe that that high performance comes from having fun at work, and the courage to think and be creative. Doing the same thing we did yesterday will not make much of a difference and this is where you come into the picture. Together we are going to do something about it.
