What´s in it for you

Energy is the currency of the future and without the right energy supply to power our global production and our offices we cannot operate. The world urgently needs to transit to fossil free energy, and we want to play a vital role in this transition; not just by supplying our electric vehicles but also in changing the way we power our operations. We need to ensure right availability at the time and price, whilst fulfilling our sustainability ambitions in this important field.

We must guarantee the energy availability timely and at competitive prices, all while aligning with and fulfilling our sustainability objectives. If you have an extensive knowledge about different energy solutions in the market and you believe you can prosper and grow together with us, then we are welcoming you to submit your application! 

What you´ll do

Be our subject matter expert about the global electricity market, translating external trends and incorporating market insights into Volvo Cars` context and strategy, driving necessary actions. Evaluate electricity sourcing options for all our sites globally and develop structured and easy-to-follow recommendations in line with our strategy.
 

Systematically answer complex questions on energy solutions, such as PPA's, and how these can be balanced with other solutions from a cost, risk and sustainability perspective. While your primary emphasis will be on electricity, we encounter a similar challenge with heating, where access, cost, risk and sustainability requirements will have to be balanced.

Serve as in-house expert in partnership negotiations for PPA processes together with the procurement team. Prepare and recommend financial decisions in relation to our energy footprint. Together with cross-functional representation, lead investigation in potential partnerships for onsite installations.

What you’ll bring

• Broad experience working with energy sourcing from a technical, strategic and market perspective.
• Significant insights in global and local trends regarding availability, pricing and sustainability requirement, as well as different climate neutral energy solutions in different regions.
• Ability to compare consumption profiles with production profiles of different assets and make calculations with high accuracy and recommendations. 
• Financial acumen and the ability to translate complex set-ups into easy-to-understand calculations showing scenarios and sourcing options evaluated by cost, including risk elements.

It is a merit if you have experience from the transition of one energy type to climate neutral energy sources, especially for industrial processes. 

With your excellent communications and interpersonal skills, you are able to facilitate complexed dialogues, based on your tech savvy mindset and business personality. You are used to and flexible for occasional business travels.
