Summer at Normet: Design and Documentation Engineer Journey

Jere Markkinen - Summer Trainee, Design and Documentation Engineer, Services

Jere Markkinen’s summer at Normet has been an educational experience. His tasks at the Service Center have been diverse and meaningful. He has designed new modification and upgrade kits, checked the compatibility of older ones with other equipment, and prepared installation instructions.

The most memorable project for Jere this summer has been designing a test rig for automation devices. He was also pleasantly surprised to find that his broad language skills have been useful in his work. “I studied German and French in high school, and later Russian. Many product brochures can be in different languages, so I’ve had the chance to use my language skills as well.”

Jere has found the work atmosphere warm and encouraging. “There’s a great spirit here, and I was welcomed very well from day one.” Thanks to the small team, communication has been easy and onboarding smooth. “Teams messages are answered quickly, and help is always available when needed. And even though there’s a lot of work, tasks are handled carefully and calmly.”

Jere, who studies mechanical engineering at Aalto University in Espoo, has also enjoyed the peacefulness of Iisalmi. “The city is small and quiet enough that you can easily get everywhere by walking or cycling.” Overall, the work experience at Normet has been positive for Jere: “I don’t have any long-term career plans yet, but I can definitely say that I’ll apply to work at Normet again.”

Jere Markkisen Kesä Normetilla on ollut opettavainen kokemus. Työtehtävät Service Centerillä ovat olleet monipuolisia ja mielekkäitä. Hän on suunnitellut uusia modifikaatio- ja päivityskittejä, tarkastellut vanhojen yhteensopivuutta toisiin laitteisiin ja laatinut asennusohjeita.

Jerelle mieleenpainuvin projekti kesältä on ollut automaatiolaitteiden testaukseen liittyvän telineen suunnittelu. Jere yllättyi positiivisesti myös siitä, että hän on hyötynyt työssään laajasta kielitaidostaan. "Oon opiskellut lukiossa saksaa ja ranskaa, ja myöhemmin venäjää. Monien tuotteiden esitteet saattaa olla eri kielillä, niin oon päässyt kielitaitoakin käyttämään.”

Työilmapiirin Jere on kokenut lämpimäksi ja kannustavaksi. "Täällä on hyvä henki ja minut otettiin vastaan todella hyvin heti ensimmäisestä päivästä lähtien." Pienen tiimin ansiosta yhteydenpito on ollut helppoa ja perehdytys oli sujuva. "Teams-viesteihin vastataan nopeasti ja apua saa aina, kun tarvitsee. Ja vaikka töitä on paljon, työtehtävät hoidetaan huolellisesti ja rauhassa."

Espoon Aalto-yliopistossa konetekniikkaa opiskeleva Jere on viihtynyt myös rauhallisessa Iisalmessa. ”Kaupunki on sen verran pieni ja rauhallinen, että pääsee hyvin liikkumaan kaikkialle kävellen ja pyörällä.” Kokonaisuutena työkokemus Normetilla on ollut Jerelle positiivinen: "Minulla ei ole vielä kauheasti pitkän ajan urasuunnitelmia, mutta voin kyllä sanoa, että haen uudestaankin Normetille töihin."
