RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for a Junior Service Manager who will work closely with the current Service Manager and contribute to improving systems and processes.

They primarily work with spare parts planning systems and have close collaboration between various departments and stakeholders globally.

We are looking for an open-minded, goal-oriented, and structured person who is not afraid to tackle new and broadly defined tasks. You should have an interest in IT architecture and systems science, and be able to handle both technical requirements and collaborate with colleagues to solve problems and improve workflows. Your ability to think in a broader perspective and build good relationships with internal stakeholders in both Sweden and Belgium will be crucial for your success in the role.

You will be offered:

An opportunity to grow in an international and diverse work environment.
Support and guidance from experienced colleagues in the team.

We are looking for engaged problem solvers who are eager to bring new ideas on how things can be improved. You also have good collaboration skills and take responsibility for your own learning. Even though you will belong to a team, you are expected to work independently on various projects. If this sounds like you, there are endless opportunities to develop at Scania; for example, previous I-talents now hold both leadership and specialist roles!
