Manager Manufacturing Engineering

Manager Manufacturing Engineering at Volvo Penta Vara Operations
Imagine yourself looking out over the horizon.


The sun rays. The wind blows in your hair and the changes of tomorrow whispers in your ear. The biggest technology shift in decades has just started. Tomorrow will soon become today. At Volvo Penta the wind of change is our fuel. Figuratively speaking of course. But who knows what tomorrow will give. Tomorrow the figuratively might become literally.


We are looking for a curious and courageous Manager for our Manufacturing Engineering team who will work together with our current Engineers to take on the task to optimize our production and develop the Plant to be the efficient and flexible production site it needs to be to take us in to the future. We believe you have a natural interest in leadership and the capability to improve organization, routines and processes.


This role is key in order to speed up the transformation of our organization into the future. You and your team will drive improvement initiatives within Manufacturing Engineering and together with the producing departments create the best quality for our customers. You will work both Operative and strategically and create routines and build competence to develop stabile processes.


An important part of your role will also be to support the manager in the Engineering department in developing the organization and the collaboration with other functions within the Volvo Group to create rigid but flexible processes.


You hold a Technical-related university degree and have work experience in our industry related to manufacturing engineering. You are passionate about people and an experienced leader who knows how to bring out the best out of your team. You love challenges and you possess the ability to see opportunities where others see obstacles. You understand organizational dynamics and that business success originates from respectful relationships, continuous learning and genuine trust. You are self-driven, analytical and a doer who works in a structured way. You are curious about change and would like to play a key role in the transformation towards the future for the Volvo Penta Vara Operations.


We strongly believe that high performance comes from having fun at work, and the courage to think outside the box. 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. The wind of change is the key to success.


Are you the perfect match? Then we would love to welcome you to the Volvo Penta Vara Operations and together create a better tomorrow.
