With over 94,000 employees, they generate electricity for 16% of the world's population and strive for sustainable, reliable, and economically affordable energy through innovative technologies.

With 3,000 employees in Finspång and an annual turnover of approximately 10 billion SEK, Siemens Energy is a significant player in energy technology.
Your Responsibilities
The role of Operational Buyer at Siemens Energy primarily involves responsibility for procuring gas turbine parts from external suppliers to internal customers, who are mostly located in their own workshop. The role also includes developing your own purchasing area to ensure an efficient and robust supply chain.
As an Operational Buyer, you are responsible for orders and deliveries from suppliers according to the agreements negotiated by strategic buyers. The role requires close collaboration with internal customers and a structured approach to ensure that deliveries are made on time. The work involves continuously questioning and developing your area of responsibility, as well as actively working on problem-solving in both the short and long term.
This involves frequent communication regarding deviations in the supply chain and many contact points, both internally within the organization and externally with suppliers. The work can be intensive at times and requires flexibility regarding both workload and engagement.
Responsibilities for the buyer include among other things:
- Handling purchase orders and invoices
- Delivery monitoring
- Driving and leading supplier meetings for ongoing deliveries
- Supplier development
- Material planning
- Communication and feedback to customers and suppliers
- Process development
Your Profile
We are looking for you who have an education in purchasing or logistics, for example in economics or industrial economics, and who thrive in a role with many contact points. You are outgoing, driven, and collaborate just as comfortably with suppliers as with internal functions.
You have a good understanding of the importance of deliveries being made on time and with the right quality. The role requires that you can handle periods of high tempo and high demands for flexibility, without losing structure or focus. When deviations occur, you deal with them directly, work in a solution-oriented and structured manner, and analyze and develop your area of responsibility over time. You are not afraid to question existing working methods and see improvement work as a natural part of daily work.
To succeed in the role, we would like you to:
- Have good collaboration skills and thrive in a communicative role
- Be stress-resistant and flexible in your working methods
- Work structured with problem-solving and follow-up
- Have good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
It is an advantage if you have previously worked with purchasing and have good knowledge of SAP and Excel, especially related to material and logistics flows.
