If you are a team player, a problem solver, enjoy a high pace, like to work within a broad network of professionals and are well structured– this might be the position for you.

Why supplier quality?

To be a leader in driving the shift towards sustainable transport solutions, not only Scania but the entire supply chain of Scania needs to eliminate waste, i.e. have the right quality levels. Also, buying a premium brand the Scania customers expect premium quality. A majority of the parts for our Trucks, Buses and Engines are sourced from suppliers and hence we need cooperation throughout the supply chain to assure good quality of these parts. Supplier Quality (SQ) is a part of Scania Purchasing with responsibility for quality assurance of new and modified parts, as well as for securing capable production processes at our suppliers during the life time of a part.
