Vacant job

Do you want a role where your work makes a difference – truly, every day? At SJ Stockholmståg, we are a central part of Stockholm's public transport. On an average day, over 340,000 people commute by train, and behind every departure lies a functioning material flow. We are now looking for you who want to make it work – as a Buyer.

About the role

As a Technical Operational Buyer, you play a key role in keeping our maintenance production running. You are responsible for the entire chain – from understanding the need to ensuring the materials are actually on site. This means you work closely with both technical teams, warehouses, and production, and are involved throughout the entire process: from analysis and ordering to delivery follow-up and invoice handling.

This is a role for you who not only wants to place purchase orders, but to understand what needs to be bought, why, and what effect it has on the business.

Your daily routine

No two days are alike. One moment you are following up on a delivery that risks being delayed, the next you are sitting with the technical team to figure out what actually needs to be ordered.

You are right in the flow, where things really happen. This can involve solving material shortages that affect production, following up on deviations, or handling claims against suppliers. In certain situations, decisions need to be made quickly – especially when traffic is affected – and you have the mandate to act, for example by securing express deliveries.

This is a daily routine that requires both structure and flexibility, and suits you who thrive when you get to take responsibility and drive things forward.

The team

You will join a small, tight-knit team where people help each other and have close dialogue in their daily work. There is a strong sense of team spirit and a culture where people support each other, especially when the pace is high.

Who we think you are

You have a few years of experience in purchasing or logistics, have likely worked in a technical or industrial environment previously, and have post-secondary education in Purchasing and Logistics or similar. You are accustomed to working with system support, preferably ERP, and are comfortable handling the entire purchasing process, from need to delivery.

Above all, you are a person who makes things happen. You are curious, solution-oriented, and enjoy collaborating with other functions. You don't need to have all the answers from the start, but you have the drive to find them.

What you get with us

With us, you get not just a role, but a context where your work makes a difference every day. You become part of a changing organization where you get to influence how we move forward.

You also get a manager who believes in freedom under responsibility and values relationships, and a team that stands up for each other when needed. Here we work close to the operations, and even if we sometimes need to solve acute situations, we do it together.

Challenges with the role you applied for:

The role involves working close to operations where conditions can change quickly. You need to be able to handle situations where the underlying data is not always complete while simultaneously ensuring quality in your orders. This places demands on both structure and personal drive.

You will also balance several contact areas – from technical teams to suppliers – and handle the entire purchasing flow, including follow-up, deviations, and invoices. The pace can be high, especially when material shortages risk affecting production.

Application and information

Selection is ongoing, so send in your application as soon as possible. As part of the process, we will conduct a background check.

We are a drug- and alcohol-free workplace where random checks are conducted.

If you are currently employed or have previously been employed within the SJ Group, we will take internal references as a step in the employment process.
