Assistant to Scania Research and Development External Operations

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Introduction

Would you like to join a fun team in a dynamic and developing environment?

At Scania R&D External Operations we navigate between R&D and Purchasing in a global setup and we need a temporary assistant to help us in the coming time. Our current assistant is engaging in a job exchange program and will therefore be off from Sept 2024 to Jan 2025 and this is where we need your help.

Our department and team

Scania R&D External Operations works with external consultant deliveries, making sure the entire R&D organization can easily utilize external support to get work done through a well-functioning process. We support the Scania R&D line organization from start-up and onboarding to ramp-down and offboarding of the work packages and its consultants.

The group consists of 10 people in the team; 6 sitting in Södertälje and 4 in India and we are split in different roles. Three women and seven men, all with different personality traits complement and support each other, and a total of over 100 years of Scania experience. We work in a fun, dynamic, and many times complex environment but always manage the challenges as a team by supporting each other.

Your background

To succeed in this role, we believe that you are a flexible team player with some years of working experience and with some academic background. You can handle the Microsoft Office tools and communicate well in English in writing and verbally. You are service-minded, proactive, productive, and interested in developing and learning new skills. You will be challenged in many ways – always in a safe environment where we succeed and fail as a team.

If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles! We hire for attitude and train for skills.

Your role and assignment

Your main work consists of onboarding and offboarding consultants according to the defined process and structure. As we handle a high number of consultants, a big part of the work is automated and you will have the opportunity to learn a lot about automation through the Power Automate platform.

• Consultant life cycle management; Onboarding, offboarding, education, and more
• Continuous improvement; Digitalizing and automating our process flows
• Coordinate and track ongoing projects
• Be an active part of the management team at ERM and provide administrative support
• Maintain and organize website, files, documents
• Handling various challenges that come up every week

Travel will not be required. Previous experience in administrative work, working at Scania and with the Microsoft Power Automate platform is meriting.

We offer

We offer you a fun workplace with diverse and challenging tasks in a hybrid work setup, meaning you can work from home or at our remote office at Scania Sergel a few days a week if the job allows.

Scania offers many opportunities to develop your career and the professional development of our employees is a priority for us.
