Transition Lead
Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a leading supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to providing complete and sustainable transport solutions. Together with TRATON and our sister brands MAN, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and International, we are working to shape the future of mobility with innovative and environmentally conscious solutions. Our values – customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility, and elimination of waste – are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are at the forefront of creating a sustainable future.

Tracks the progress of documentation and handovers, maintaining status reports, timelines, and trackers to ensure transparency and follow‑through. Follows up on action items and supports communication across team members to keep all stakeholders aligned. Through structured coordination and consistent follow‑up, the Transition lead enables smooth transition workflows and effective team collaboration.
