Group Manager for S‑order at Scania Special Vehicles

Om jobbet

Role Summary

As part of our internal mobility efforts, this opportunity is open to employees within Scania and TRATON Group R&D in Södertälje only. Thank you for your understanding.

Are you motivated by developing people while delivering customer-unique solutions? As Group Manager for S-order Level B within Special Vehicles, you will lead a team working in a dynamic, customer-driven environment where every assignment starts with a direct customer request.

You combine operational leadership with long-term capability building. By creating clarity, structure, and engagement, you ensure high-quality technical deliveries while strengthening both team performance and individual growth.

Job Responsibilities

In this role, you are responsible for leading and developing the team's deliveries in a fast-paced and customer-focused environment. You ensure that work is prioritized effectively, aligned with strategy, and delivered with high technical quality.

Your responsibilities include:

• Leading, coaching, and developing a team of engineers
• Creating structure and clarity in planning and prioritization
• Ensuring high quality in technical investigations and deliveries
• Fostering a strong, inclusive, and collaborative team culture
• Contributing actively to the ESM management team

You collaborate closely with colleagues within ES, R&D in Brazil, Sales & Marketing, Planning, Product Coordination, Purchasing, and Production. You are also responsible for consultant deliveries within the area. The organization is characterized by transparency, delegated responsibility, and a high level of trust.

Who You Are

You are a positive and engaging leader who builds trust and creates clarity in complexity. You enjoy developing others and believe that strong team performance is built through collaboration, openness, and shared accountability.

We believe you bring:

• Leadership experience within Scania
• A strong customer focus and business understanding
• Experience from S-order or Special Vehicles (meriting)
• A technical understanding of vehicles or product development, preferably with knowledge of Scania's modular system

You are curious, solution-oriented, and comfortable balancing operational demands with long-term development.

This Is Us

Special Vehicles is part of Scania BID. We create tailor-made solutions by creatively combining and further developing Scania's modular system - much like building with LEGO. Using existing "bricks," and refining them when needed, we craft solutions that meet unique customer demands.

Our work spans alternative fuels, electrification, heavy-duty transport, special applications, and advanced customizations. Each year, we design and build more than 10,000 Scania trucks - approximately 10-15% of total production - contributing directly to Scania's expansion into new markets and segments.

The team consists of 17 development engineers and one team leader with diverse backgrounds and experiences. This diversity strengthens our problem-solving ability and innovation capacity. We share a strong commitment to quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing is a natural part of how we work.

Here, you will join a supportive and engaged management team with clear direction and strong trust in delegated responsibility. You will have significant opportunity to shape your leadership and contribute to the continued development of the organization.

We look forward to receiving your application, consisting of your CV and kindly ask you not to share a cover letter to ensure an efficient and unbiased recruitment process for all parties.

Please apply as soon as possible, no later than 2026-03-03. Screening will take place on an ongoing basis during the application period. Logical and personality tests may be used as part of the selection process, and a background check may be required for this role.
