Job description:Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.
Do you enjoy helping people understand how trucks work and seeing others grow through learning?
Do you want to develop our global dealer network and enable trainers and technicians to succeed in an increasingly electrified and software‑driven truck environment? Then you can be the one we are looking for!
What do we do?Technical Training is part of the Competence Development (CD) department at Volvo Trucks. CD is responsible for building world class competence across our dealer network by delivering innovative, efficient and people-centric training that strengthens skills, enhances knowledge and supports exceptional customer experiences.
Within Competence Development, Technical Training is one of several key training domains. In addition to technical training for workshop technicians, CD also delivers commercial, sales, onboarding and role-based training to support customer facing employees across the dealer network. Together, these areas ensure a holistic and consistent competence development approach.
Our mission in CD is to empower both workshop technicians and customer facing roles through modern learning solutions. This includes instructor-led training, digital learning tools, new ways of learning, coaching approaches and initiatives that support attracting, developing and retaining diverse talent in the dealer network.
Technical Training focuses on developing and delivering training solutions for workshop technicians, with strong collaboration across CD and with our global training network. We work closely with a global network of trainers through a train the trainer concept, enabling consistent, high quality training delivery while allowing local adaptation. This network is also actively involved in our training development projects.
Many technicians in the dealer network work with both Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks, which is why we cooperate closely with the Technical Training team at Renault Trucks in Lyon.
Our work is carried out in close collaboration with: Sales Areas and Market Companies
Volvo Trucks Product Management and other head office functions
Trucks Technology & Industrial Division
Through Competence Development, we contribute to long term capability building, including initiatives such as dealer onboarding, leadership support during change, and the evolution of Volvo VISTA as an integrated part of daily learning and continuous development — more than a competition, but a way to build competence over time.
