Vacant job

Have you ever had contact with healthcare? Stayed at a hotel, eaten at a restaurant, or worked in a laboratory? Then you have likely encountered Textilia, even if you didn't notice it. We deliver laundry and textile services to customers with high demands for sustainability, service, quality, and hygiene. We are a company in constant development, and here you get to drive that development forward – together for a cleaner tomorrow.

You work both independently and in close collaboration with other maintenance technicians and production staff.

• Experience from the food industry or other manufacturing operations is a plus

You have good skills in Swedish, both spoken and written. Knowledge of English is a plus, and German is seen as an extra advantage, as several of our machine suppliers are located abroad.

• Responsible, proactive, and solution-oriented
• Stress-resistant and comfortable working at a high pace
• Service-oriented with a good understanding of production needs
