About us
In Operations, we manufacture and deliver the Volvo Construction Equipment ecosystem around the world, operating from our 12 sites across 4 continents. We work together across functions to always put the customer at the center of our decisions and achieve best-in-class performance while evolving with the world around us. We are engaged, skilled, and continuously improving, and we expect the same from you.
This is us, your new colleagues
We are a passionate team responsible for Manufacturing Engineering within Volvo CE, driven by continuous improvement, focusing on performance, and involving people. If you want to challenge the status quo and apply your knowledge globally, this is a great opportunity for you. Join our global team, add value to the Volvo CE manufacturing environment, and contribute to the digital transformation.
This is how you could make an impact
In this role, you will lead and ensure that multi-site roadmaps, networks, and portfolios are built and governed in line with the Volvo CE Digitalization and Automation strategy, translating strategic direction into actionable plans that create measurable business value. You will also support operations sites in scaling the implementation of approved platforms, solutions, and standards, enabling repeatable deployment approaches and accelerating adoption across the manufacturing footprint.
A central focus will be to identify, define, and prioritize digital capabilities that align with objectives and business needs, while ensuring feasibility, validation, and clear outcome ownership. You will support end-to-end solutions spanning devices, connectivity, data ingestion and storage, edge computing, cloud platforms, applications, and analytics, ensuring the solutions are robust, maintainable, and fit for industrial environments.
To build long-term capability, you will develop, maintain, and govern technical standards, documentation, and training materials that strengthen skills and competencies across teams and sites. You will provide technical support to manufacturing and operational sites to enable stable equipment connectivity and integration, and you will help secure reliable operations through strong lifecycle practices.
You will define, implement, and enforce IoT and connectivity security principles in alignment with corporate IT and OT security policies, and collaborate closely with IT, OT, engineering, and business stakeholders to ensure alignment, adoption, and sustainable value realization. As part of your delivery leadership, you will proactively identify risks, dependencies, and roadblocks, communicate transparently, and escalate when needed to keep progress on track.
Finally, you will continuously scan global trends and best practices to evolve long-term plans and roadmaps, and you will engage in external collaborations such as universities, research initiatives, and pilot projects, bringing relevant insights back into Volvo CE through practical, implemented solutions.
