The entire team is based at Scania's purchasing office in Södertälje. In the modern open-plan landscape, you can work in different areas depending on the task; there are traditional desks, but also project spaces, quiet rooms and a lounge where you can enjoy a cup of coffee with your colleagues during a meeting or a break. There is also a flexibility to work from home certain days of the week.
