Vacant job

AxÖ Consulting is currently recruiting a Section Manager for Testing at BAE Systems Bofors – an opportunity for you who want to combine technology, leadership, and development in a business that truly makes a difference.

This is a role for you who wants to be part of building something long-term – both in terms of teams, working methods, and a sustainable organization. You will step into a phase where much is already in place, but where you also have significant room to influence how the business develops forward.

This is a direct recruitment, which means you will be employed directly by BAE Systems Bofors.

About the assignment

BAE Systems Bofors develops, produces, and delivers advanced defense systems and is in an expansion phase. The development department has grown steadily over the past few years – and forecasts show continued growth.

As part of this journey, the organization within the System unit (KES) is now developing, with a focus on creating the right conditions for both the business and people to grow sustainably over time.

This is about:

• building an organization that holds – even when the pace is high
• building up and managing competence
• strengthening structure and working methods in line with increased demands
• developing leadership in a growing business

Your role

As Section Manager for Testing, you are responsible for leading and developing your section within the testing area. You drive the work forward through your team and ensure that the business meets the requirements set by projects and customers.

A large part of the business is conducted in project form, where testing plays a central role in ensuring function, quality, and delivery. In your role, you are responsible for planning, prioritizing, and allocating the right resources to the projects – often in critical phases with a focus on functional checks prior to delivery (Pre-FAT and FAT).

You collaborate closely with other section managers, project managers, and the management group within the unit, contributing to the whole while having clear responsibility for your own group.

Your team will need to be built from scratch, and you will collaborate with two other section managers for testing. This means that recruitment and competence building will be an important part of your assignment.

You will among other things:

• Lead and develop the business within your section
• Allocate and prioritize resources to projects
• Drive recruitment and develop the team in line with growth
• Ensure planning and execution of testing activities
• Be responsible for working environment, resource planning, and competence development
• Ensure quality in test methods, working methods, and deliveries
• Contribute to the development of working methods and processes within the scope of the business
• Collaborate with other managers, project managers, and leadership

Location: Karlskoga

Personal qualities
