Summer Temporary Positions at Smurfit Westrock Piteå

Do you want to join our team of skilled employees who create packaging for a more sustainable world? In Piteå, the paper for Smurfit Westrock's packaging is produced; a packaging material of the times that contributes to a sustainable future.

We are now looking for summer temporary workers to strengthen our operations when our employees go on well-deserved leave. A summer job gives you the opportunity to get to know us, and us to know you – which is a valuable chance as many of our previous temporary workers have enjoyed their time and stayed with us. Would you like to spend the summer with us?

Before the summer, we are looking for several temporary workers in different parts of our factory.

We are looking for shift operators for the washing, pulp, lye, power, and paper mills. The work as an operator is varied and involves both monitoring the process from the control room and more hands-on work, including rounds in the factory. The job also involves you collaborating with your colleagues to address the problems and questions that arise in the process and finding solutions. The work as a washing operator also includes driving forklifts and tractors.

We are also looking for rewinders and day operators. As a rewinder, you handle rolls that need to be processed for new orders. The work as a day operator and rewinder is varied and includes, among other things, forklift driving, handling paper rolls, cores, and rounds.

For the bio-refinery, we are looking for a day operator who primarily works with water supply and biological process water treatment. Your tasks include inspecting the facilities, performing daily checks, and conducting analyses and process adjustments. You also coordinate maintenance work.

Your Background
We are looking for someone with a high school education in technology/natural sciences, preferably with a course in pulp/paper and/or a vocational education as a process operator. To fit as an operator, we see that you have a desire to learn new things, enjoy collaborating with others, and have a good ability to solve problems. For some positions within production, a forklift license (C3) or forklift driving certificate (A and B) is required.
