Project Engineer at Scania Meppel

Although the job title Project Engineer suggests otherwise, the emphasis in this role is primarily on project management. You are the linchpin between technology, operations, and organization. You manage multiple technical projects simultaneously and ensure that ideas, plans, and improvements are actually implemented on the work floor.

The projects vary in scope and duration (from approximately 6 months to 1–2 years). Examples include safety issues that result in multiple improvement projects, process optimizations, or technical replacement projects. Sometimes you will have full responsibility as a project leader, and sometimes you will work within a larger program.

You work closely with engineers, operators, managers, and external parties. You know how to connect people, create support, and maintain an overview, even when interests and disciplines converge.

You are a connecting, curious, and goal-oriented project engineer who loves to see plans become reality.
