About the Role

Are you driven by technical challenges and want to work in a role where you can combine technical depth with collaboration and a holistic perspective? We are now looking for a Lead Mechanical Engineer for our Engineering organization for lift trucks.

In this role, you will have a central position in the development work and be responsible for supporting and guiding engineers throughout the entire project lifecycle. You will ensure that technical solutions, designs, and deliveries meet our requirements, standards, and specifications. The role involves close collaboration with several functions such as sales, purchasing, production, service, and product management, as well as with external partners and suppliers.

• Contributing operationally through your own design tasks when needed

Requirements

To thrive in this role, we believe you have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent, combined with relevant work experience in design or product development. You have a strong technical interest and a good understanding of mechanical designs and technical systems.

You work in a structured manner, take responsibility for technical decisions, and have the ability to see both details and the big picture. The role requires you to communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, in both Swedish and English, and that you thrive in a leadership role where you drive the work forward together with others.

We want you to have good design experience with welded and bent steel structures.

Experience from heavy mobile vehicles is highly meritorious.

You also have experience working in CAD and PLM systems. Good leadership skills are important to drive projects and teams towards common goals and create effective collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders.
