The role of a process operator exists in several places in production, from taking in wood and chips to rolling up the finished paper/cardboard for the customer. It is a varied job that mixes process monitoring with physical work in production, where problem-solving is part of everyday work. The main task is to maintain continuous operation year-round, which also means working in shifts - weekdays, weekends, day and night shifts, which are mixed with longer periods of rest. Within these roles, there are good opportunities for further development by learning more process sections and positions.
The sense of community among my shift team is very good. Even though the people who work here are very different, we take care of each other during the shift.
The role of a mechanic involves troubleshooting and repairing machinery such as motors and pumps through planned work orders and urgent operational disruptions. The work is carried out in close cooperation with colleagues and other professional roles within the process. The role of a mechanic is suitable for those who have a technical interest and enjoy tricky problem-solving. Digital development has led to new working methods, such as monitoring work and work orders through apps. The role of a mechanic is available as both day jobs and shift work.
There's almost something new every day.
Work in Electrical/Automation involves maintenance efforts related to our electrical equipment. We offer a mix of new and old technology, which makes it varied and challenging.

In the role, one faces new challenges and it's important to help out, have the right protective equipment, and enjoy an exciting everyday life surrounded by colleagues.
