Vacant job

Do you want to work in a technically varied role where you have significant responsibility and the opportunity to influence the development of our production? We are now looking for a machine technician who wants to help ensure operational reliability in one of Sweden's leading textile industries.

Woolpower is one of Sweden's largest textile producers, manufacturing warm base layers and wool socks – from yarn to finished garments. All production takes place in Östersund, giving us full control over every step of the process. With years of experience, we know what it takes to keep you warm. Our goal is to spread warmth – both through functional garments and by being a responsible company. Sustainability permeates everything we do, and Swedish production with a focus on high quality is the core of our business idea. We summarize this in the phrase "Responsibly Made in Sweden" – a promise that our products are responsibly manufactured in Sweden. This means responsibility across multiple levels: from fair working conditions and care for the people behind the products, to durable garments with a long lifespan and a well-controlled supply chain.
