Vacant job

Founded in 1927, the Volvo Group is committed to driving prosperity and shaping the future landscape through sustainable transport, mobility, and infrastructure solutions. By offering trucks, buses, construction equipment, power solutions for marine and industrial applications, financing and services that increase our customers’ uptime and productivity. Our headquarters are in Gothenburg, Sweden. Volvo Group shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.

What you will do
Volvo Buses are working with multistage homologation and we are responsible for chassis homologation, and also in some cases the completed bus homologation. We are, however, one team working with both areas. You will:

• Prepare and submit documentation for regulatory approvals and publish new and updated certificates.
• Represent and coordinate within projects for new and existing products to meet all statutory and mandatory requirements.
• Coordinate certification tests and evaluations with the testing team, technical services, and type approval authorities.
• Be the subject matter expert for regulations, providing regulatory input and guidance to support projects and engineering teams.
• Monitor product changes to ensure compliance continuity.

Your future team
The homologation/certification function is a team of around ten engineers that is part of Product and Project Management (PMM) within Global Bus Technology (GBT). The team is in Gothenburg, but we are collaborating with teams in Europe, Brazil, and Mexico. We also interact directly with our bus body builder customers. Each person in the team has a specific area of responsibility but with a lot of collaboration within the team, and with other stakeholders.

Who are you?
Working within Homologation requires diligence and an interest in regulations. This is in combination with a technical interest and background. We are a small team that collaborates a lot and you need to be a trustworthy collaborator, with good interpersonal and social skills. Being proficient in English is a must, but Spanish can be very useful in addition to English.

Our strategy emphasizes a “dare” aspect of our vision for creating a Winning Culture. For us at homologation this means, among other things, that we look for people with a doer attitude. If needed, you must be able to plan your work and deliver results independently.

Mandatory requirements:

• Minimum five (5) years of automotive and vehicle certification experience.
• Minimum bachelor’s degree in technology within relevant areas.
• Proficient in English, with working experience from an international context.

The following experiences are meritorious:

• Knowledge of regulations related to complete vehicles, buses, or completed bus engineering.
• KOLA, VDA, VDB, CDM, CDS system experience.
• Project management experience.

What’s in it for you?
We offer a solid package of compensation and benefits, plus you will enjoy:

• As a new member, you will receive training in processes, systems, and tools.
• Shadow experienced team members to understand our work.
• The opportunity to gain experience and work with diverse evolving technologies and standards.
• Be part of a dynamic and constantly engaging team in projects and discussions.
• Be part of regular team collaboration events, to be part of the team’s social context.
