Vacant job

Your upcoming role

As a Depot Vehicle Manager, you have operational responsibility during your shift to ensure that vehicles are available for all departures within the vehicle areas you are responsible for. The role is primarily operational and requires a continuous focus on daily operations, while also requiring foresight to create and maintain sustainable vehicle planning.

You are also responsible for ensuring that vehicles put into service meet current requirements for traffic safety and roadworthiness according to SJ's regulations. The role involves close collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders, where clear and effective communication is a prerequisite for the business to function. In the event of traffic disruptions, vehicle shortages, or other operational deviations, the work pace can be high, which places demands on stress tolerance, prioritization skills, and a solution-oriented approach.

The work is carried out in a 24/7 operation and is mainly performed according to a three-shift schedule, meaning work during day, evening, and night shifts. Comfort with shift work and the ability to work irregular hours are therefore prerequisites for the role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assign SJ vehicles and ensure that trains consist of the vehicles specified in the train plan.
• Collaborate with workshop planners and maintenance suppliers to ensure vehicle availability.
• Check that vehicles are traffic-safe according to available systems and current regulations.
• Ensure that vehicles meet requirements for safety and inspection intervals.
• Receive, register, and administer fault reports in relevant support systems.
• Participate in quality follow-up and business development work.
• Collaborate with SJ Traffic Control during traffic disruptions.
• Develop and formulate operational decision-making and planning materials for the business.

As a Depot Vehicle Manager, you are part of the Vehicle Division, which is responsible for the lifecycle of the vehicle fleet and must ensure the timely delivery of complete, clean, and safe trains. The Vehicle Division is to develop and maintain SJ's vehicle fleet, ensure correct vehicle quality, efficient maintenance production through good planning, and balance maintenance needs and capacity. Hagalund Depot is SJ's largest depot with approx. 360 employees and 30,000 departures/year. Many different activities take place at Hagalund Depot with the responsibility to operationally manage the maintenance of all SJ vehicles.

Expectations of the candidate

As a Depot Vehicle Manager, you work in an operational business where conditions can change quickly. You need to be able to make well-founded decisions in real-time, prioritize between several simultaneous tasks, and maintain focus even during periods of high work pace. The role requires good analytical skills, a structured approach to work, and the ability to quickly translate information into operational actions.

You communicate easily and collaborate with different functions, both internally and externally, and understand the importance of creating clarity in a business that depends on many stakeholders. At the same time, you are self-reliant, take initiative, and drive the work forward with great responsibility. We are looking for someone who thrives in an operational environment where problem-solving, collaboration, and a proactive work approach are crucial to ensuring stable traffic production.

We are looking for someone with:

• Experience from operational business, preferably from a 24/7 operation (H24).
• A three-year upper secondary education or equivalent.
• Experience in similar operational roles and knowledge of system support for vehicle management, which is meritorious.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
• Very good experience in planning and coordination work.
• Experience from the railway or train industry, which is highly meritorious.
• Post-secondary education in trains is highly meritorious, e.g., train driver or train technician.
