With a proud tradition of more than 150 years of pioneering solutions, our Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions business concept has long been based on innovation, technology leadership and customer relationships. In keeping with our vision and values, our ambition is always to set the industry standard in the areas in which we operate.
We’re now looking for a Packaging Development Manager to join our Rock Tools division. Someone to take ownership of the strategical change towards more sustainable and customer focused packaging solutions and an increased efficiency throughout the whole supply chain. This is a new and flexible role with big impact on results and, not to mention the way Sandvik is perceived by the market and our customers.
Do you have a strong entrepreneurial drive, a creative spirit and want to take lead in all topics related to our packaging and labelling? Then this is something for you!
Your mission
Ensuring innovation, quality and safety, you lead the development of packaging solutions and labelling for Rock Tools’ whole product range – from small drill bits to big rods and hammers. With deep knowledge from the packaging industry, you take responsibility for the whole process – from choosing materials and suppliers to developing manufacturing processes and how the final delivery is made. We’re ambitiously taking our global responsibility and making the shift towards more sustainable solutions and you’re a key in making this happen for your area. Naturally, you also ensure cost management, efficiency, customer satisfaction and a premium feel that matches our world leading products.
You work cross-functionally and independently across the organization, managing and aligning expectations from production, product line, sales and marketing – as well as setting your own requirements towards your stakeholders and taking lead in development projects. You also manage external contacts and touch points such as suppliers and end-customers.
Most of the staff in the Rock Tools division in Sweden are located in Sandviken and we prefer that you are located in Sandviken or in Sandviken on a regular basis. Some international travel is naturally included during normal circumstances.
And what about you?
With a university degree in a relevant field and a strong background of at least seven years in the packaging industry, supply chain and logistics/production, you’ve built your professional confidence – perhaps as a senior development engineer. You mix a broad technical knowledge with a commercial outlook and you’re not afraid to drive change and try new ways of doing things. A background of working in international organizations, especially within manufacturing is naturally beneficial, as is knowledge about sustainability and circular materials. On top of this, we believe that you have experience from driving large scale development projects and from supplier and customer management. As we work on a global stage, good English skills are important while Swedish is a plus.
We put great value in your personal qualities. You’re self-driven and creative, while also having an analytical engineering mindset – allowing you to come up with innovative solutions and independently bring them to life. Your structured mind is helping you while managing big and complex change projects on your own. With good communication skills, you effortlessly collaborate with different stakeholders across the organization, and you build and maintain strong relationships with both internal and external contacts.
A glimpse of our culture?
At Sandvik, we believe in finding that perfect mix between work, family life and interests, and we happily support our employees in balancing this.
