JSF2 Backing Bean unable to get a reference to @Inject'ed Session Bean

I have the following JSF2 controller / bb which i have injected a session bean. However, at it is unable to get a reference to the EJB Local Session Bean.

JSF2 Backing Bean:

@ManagedBean
@Named("scorecardBackingBean")
@SessionScoped
public class ScorecardBackingBean implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 7231502115861150753L;

    @Inject
    private IScorecardServiceBean scorecardServiceBean;

    @PostConstruct
    private void prepareMainLineChart() {
        this.mainLineChart = new CartesianChartModel();


         List<OrderVolume> orderVolumeList = this.scorecardServiceBean
         .getOrderVolume(); //ERROR here, scorecardServiceBean is null.
}

EJB:

@Stateless
public class ScorecardServiceBean implements IScorecardServiceBean {
}

EJB Interface:

@Local
public interface IScorecardServiceBean {
    List<OrderVolume> getOrderVolume();
}

Error encountered:

You are mixing CDI managed beans (@Named) and JSF managed beans (@ManagedBean). Only one of these annotations is necessary.

If you choose the one or the other, make sure that you import the correct scope class.

CDI: javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped

JSF: javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped
