Arbetsbeskrivning

Are you ready to shape the future of NCC’s capital equipment strategy in one of the Nordics' leading construction and infrastructure companies? As Category Manager CAPEX, you will play a pivotal role in transforming how NCC Industry invests in and manages machinery and plant assets — from strategy to execution with a total cost perspective.

This is not a traditional procurement role. It is a strategic, high-impact position at the heart of NCC’s production capability, sustainability goals, and financial performance. You will guide the company’s investment decisions on critical capital equipment and set the direction for a smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable asset base, plants and machineries, across the Nordic region.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the CAPEX strategy: Define and implement the long-term investment and procurement roadmap for machinery and plant assets including asphalt plants, crushers, pavers, and other machineries at production.
• Lead collaboration: Work cross-functionally with finance, operations, sustainability, and local procurement teams. Act as a bridge between strategic planning and hands-on operations.
• Drive value & efficiency: Introduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) thinking into investment decisions. Standardize machinery specifications to optimize uptime, cost, and performance.
• Shape a new investment process: Develop a governance framework for machinery purchases that aligns with NCC’s broader financial and operational goals.
• Lead sustainability integration: such as electrification, digitalization, and circular economy principles, into category decisions.
• Build supplier partnerships: Establish long-term, strategic supplier relationships that foster innovation, resilience, and mutual value creation.
• Manage change: Shift the organization from ad hoc, site-level decisions to a centralized, strategic CAPEX portfolio approach.

Your experience and background 

• 5–15 years of experience in strategic procurement, category management, or capital equipment sourcing in asset-intensive industries (e.g. construction, mining, manufacturing, agriculture). Or other relevant background.
• Consultancy background is a plus
• Strong exposure to investment planning and cross-functional collaboration.
• Proven track record in managing CAPEX categories and strategic supplier negotiations.
• Experience from OEMs or contractors is highly valuable.
• Familiarity with machinery cost structures (e.g. service, uptime, lifecycle costs) and TCO modelling.
• Knowledge of hydraulics, electrified or digitalized machinery systems is a plus.

Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, or equivalent.

Competencies & Traits

• Strategic & structured – able to see the big picture while working through detail-heavy challenges.
• Analytically strong – confident in working with investment data, supplier evaluations, and TCO models.
• Collaborative & diplomatic – skilled in stakeholder management, from site managers to senior leaders.
• Change leader – capable of challenging the status quo, educating internal stakeholders, and influencing through business value.
• Sustainability-minded – able to embed environmental and efficiency considerations into investment strategies.
• Fluent in a Scandinavian language and English.
