“The best thing about Elomatic as an employer is the flexible attitude and trust in the employee. Flexible working hours and remote working opportunities have enabled me to have a running career at the Finnish championship level. Beside work I have had time to run for more than 7,000 km per year. I’ve worked remotely from training camps in Arizona, South Africa, Portugal and Spain.

I would encourage future employees to take on tasks with a brisk attitude. The things taught in school are certainly useful, but the best way to learn the work is to do it. Co-workers help with new things and surprisingly quickly the work starts to go smoothly.”

1997

In middle school I completed my familiarization with working life at Elomatic. I met some of my current co-workers already back then. I didn’t do any design work, but I got to format floppy disks and diskettes! From those times I also remember a scale model workshop which was located in Elomatic’s basement.

2002

I started my studies at Tampere University of Technology with a major in mechanical engineering. Man is an adaptable creature! So although I am from Turku and there’s definitely some playful rivalry going on between these two cities, I survived in Tampere with no trouble.

2005

I got a summer job at Elomatic. After three years of studying, I already knew the basics and co-workers offered help with new things. I quickly got involved in actual projects.

2007

I did my master’s thesis for Elomatic. I was seconded to a client company and worked on an interesting product development project related to welding automation.

2008

After graduation, I continued to work at Elomatic doing strength calculations and steel structure design. After a while, I began to work solely on strength calculation as a Senior Design Engineer.

Despite the title, I felt I was still quite a junior, but colleagues always helped when a new challenge came up. I got involved in diverse design projects and became familiar with large steel structures such as harbor cranes, welding automation equipment, paper machines, pipelines, ships and offshore ferries.

2014

I got to lead a bigger project for the first time when we did strength calculations for an amusement ride on a RCCL luxury cruiser. The ride was called the North Star and it even made it to the Guinness Book of Records (”Highest Viewing Deck on a Cruise Ship”).

2015

I spent six months on a secondment at MacGregor’s product development department. It was interesting to see the functions of another organization, but after the secondment I was happy to return to my own office.

2016

A major Global-class cruise ship design project began at Elomatic. I worked as a project leader in local strength calculations for the stern of the ship. During the multi-year project, my responsibilities increased, and my job title changed to Consulting Engineer.

2020

At the moment I work as a Senior Consulting Engineer. Beside working on strength calculations, I am constantly developing my skills. I am currently attending Elomatic’s Project Academy, which prepares me to lead more demanding projects.
