Lathe Operator at Valmet

Are you a skilled lathe operator with a passion for technology, precision, and development? Do you want to work in modern and well-equipped facilities alongside competent and dedicated colleagues? Then the role of Lathe Operator at Valmet could be the right job for you!

Valmet Corporation is the leading global developer and supplier of technology, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries. In Sweden, the technology in three out of four paper mills comes from Valmet, which has several production and R&D units, with the largest located in Sundsvall, Karlstad, and Gothenburg. The company has an industrial history spanning over 200 years and was re-established when the operations for pulp, paper, and energy became a separate company during the split of the Metso Group in December 2013. Valmet has over 19,000 employees worldwide.

As a lathe operator, you will be part of a dedicated team in Valmet's Fiber Service Workshop, where the operations include washing, blasting, disassembly/assembly, welding, and machining. Here you will have the opportunity to develop in a role with great variety and responsibility.

About the Position

As a lathe operator, you will work with a four-axis X.Y.Z.C lathe, equipped with drives, rotating tools, angle heads, and Siemens 840D SL control system. With the support of EdgeCam, you will program and handle large and complex workpieces with high tolerance requirements. A crane is used for the movement of the workpieces.

Your tasks include:

• Disposing of materials and measuring workpieces in the machine
• Performing independent measurements of details to ensure quality
• Establishing and filling in measurement protocols
• Performing basic operator maintenance

In this role, you will have significant responsibility for disposing, measuring, machining, and quality-checking the workpieces – always with a focus on accuracy and quality. Collaboration, communication, and understanding of material and product flows are crucial in this role. You will be an important part of a shift team of two to three people and work closely with other departments, production technicians, and the maintenance department.

• Technical education / workshop training focused on machining or equivalent education or experience (green card).

• Knowledge of CNC technology (preferably Siemens 840D)
• Experience working with CNC, preferably turning, for at least 5 years
• Experience in turning heavy components
• Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written

To succeed in the role of lathe operator at Valmet, we see that you are a person with a sharp eye for details and prioritize accuracy. You understand the importance of working methodically and structured to ensure that the workpieces meet high quality and tolerance requirements. Safety is a given for you, and you always work with a responsible safety mindset in everything you do. Your commitment is evident in your work – you take responsibility for your tasks, constantly seek improvements, and want to develop in your professional role. Additionally, you are a team player who values good collaboration and communication, both within the shift team and with other departments.

It is advantageous if you have experience with CAD/CAM and handling measuring tools. If you also have knowledge of English, it is a big plus.
