XPI PCR Assignment Leader i Sodertalje

Scania has, together with Cummins Inc, a Joint Venture to manufacture XPI Fuel Injection systems. The JV consists of Machining, Assembly & Test. The operations are located in Columbus IN USA, Juárez Mexico and Södertälje Sweden. There is also a global Fuel System Engineering with the center in Columbus IN USA to develop and support the products.  The Fuel Systems JV has recently opened a new engineering office in Södertalje.  This new role is part of the start-up plan and will reside within the new organization. 

The main role of the PCR (Product Change Request) Assignment Leader will be to act as project manager for product changes to existing production components.  Making changes while in production is a complex activity and requires good project leadership to be successful.  You will be working together closely with multiple disciplines including: Engineering for technical requirements, Purchasing for supplier implementation, Customer communication and the individual plants for validation and readiness.

Each Assignment Leader will own up to 20 projects at a time with a majority of projects involving working with European supply base for component or process changes (travel to suppliers can be frequent but not necessary).  This role offers the opportunity to work globally with other XPI organizations including the teams in U.S., Mexico, India and China.

This is a great opportunity to be in project management and learn about common rail fuel systems.  You will be exposed to many different disciplines within the business and will be integral in growing the Fuel Systems footprint in Europe.
