Become part of a team that believes in continuous investment in your skills, growth, and overall well‑being. At Valmet, a global leader in technologies and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, we take pride in producing high‑quality equipment that keeps mills and manufacturing operations running around the world. We depend on talented professionals like you to help make it possible.

In this role, you will play a direct part in the creation of precision‑machined components used in our systems.

You’ll read and interpret blueprints, set‑up sheets, and routing documents, working with accuracy and consistency to produce high‑quality results. Many tasks will require strong focus, mechanical insight, and a commitment to safe, reliable operation—often including the use of cranes to move large or heavy components.

Success in this position comes from a solid foundation in machining practices, a strong mechanical aptitude, and an ability to maintain precision throughout repetitive and detailed work. You’ll thrive here if you take pride in craftsmanship, enjoy solving problems on the shop floor, and appreciate being part of a supportive, team‑oriented environment.
