What kind of proud Kesla team member are we looking for?

A requirement for succeeding in the job is a suitable educational background or equivalent knowledge gained in practice. Experience in the forestry machinery sector is a special plus. You have a good understanding of the basic principles of hydraulics, automation, and control systems used in forestry machinery, which is essential when troubleshooting heavy equipment. Since the work is often done at customer sites, you need good social skills. In addition to Finnish, English is required for the job—though if your attitude is right, "Rally English" will get you started. Your work is not tied to a single location; you travel wherever you are needed. In practice, your duties include maintenance repairs, equipment installations, and advising customers on maintenance work, spare part needs, and equipment failure situations.

Salary: €16-18/hour, commensurate with skills and prior work experience.

Kesla is a smoke free workplace.
