ABOUT THE POSITION Scania is one of Sweden’s largest companies and offers trucks and buses for heavy transport in combination with a wide range of product-related services. Their mission is to drive the transition to a sustainable transport system by developing safe, smart, and energy-efficient transport solutions that are better for both people and our planet. Today, Scania has around 50,000 employees in approximately 100 countries, and together with partners and customers, they are driving the transition towards a more sustainable transport industry, being both trendsetters and pioneers in electrification and sustainable transport systems.

The program starts every fall and is designed for those who are new in their careers, aiming to provide the best possible conditions for growth in your role. The I-Talent Program consists, in addition to daily work in your team, mainly of three parts – “Learning your professional role”, “Go-and-see”, and “Training”. This provides excellent opportunities to build a strong network within Scania, and in addition to your fellow I-talents and your immediate manager, you will be assigned a buddy who will support you during your initial period.
