Our mission in R&D Industrial Operations Asia is to develop trucks specially adapted for the Chinese market, the biggest commercial vehicle market in the world.

In order to succeed in a new market, Scania needs to focus on speed, flexibility, and flow. To manage that we work in an agile setup. The journey has started and we need a Project manager to secure that the build-up in China goes as smoothly as possible by supporting our R&D organisation in Asia with all the necessary IT supporting solutions required, in order to develop our products fast and effectively.
