Summer at Normet: Production Planning Trainee

Miro Kettunen, Summer Trainee, Production Planning

Miro Kettunen, a Mechanical Engineering student at Savonia University of Applied Sciences, has spent several summers at Normet—and still enjoys it. “This has definitely been the best workplace I’ve had. The most diverse and interesting tasks, and the best work atmosphere.” The summer job has also broadened Miro’s view of career opportunities in the field, and he sees Normet as a very promising employer for the future.

During the summer, Miro worked in operational production planning. During the production summer break, he also took on additional responsibility by acting as a supervisor for the employees who were present. He particularly enjoyed the supervisor role. “The tasks have generally been very varied with different projects. And that supervisor role is something where I feel most at home.”

Previous positive experiences motivated Miro to apply to Normet again, and this summer offered plenty of new learning opportunities. This time, Miro feels he learned especially about production management systems and other practical matters that you don’t learn at school. He also appreciates the attitude of the work community toward summer trainees: “No one assumes that summer trainees know everything in advance; instead, things are taught and explained calmly.”


Miro Kettunen, Summer Trainee, Production Planning

Konetekniikan insinööriksi Savonia-ammattikorkeakoulussa opiskeleva Miro Kettunen on viettänyt jo useamman kesän Normetilla ja hän viihtyy yhä. "Kyllä tää on ollut paras työpaikka, missä oon ollut. Monimuotoisimmat ja mielenkiintoisimmat työtehtävät, ja paras työilmapiiri." Kesätyö on myös laajentanut Miron näkemystä alan uramahdollisuuksista, ja hän näkee Normetin erittäin potentiaalisena työnantajana myös tulevaisuudessa.

Kesän aikana Miro pääsi työskentelemään operatiivisen tuotannonsuunnittelun parissa. Tuotannon kesätauon aikana hän sai ottaa myös lisää vastuuta toimimalla työnjohtajana paikalla oleville työntekijöille. Erityisesti työnjohtajan rooli on ollut hänelle mieleinen. "Tehtävissä on yleisesti ollut tosi hyvin vaihtelevuutta ja erilaisia projekteja. Sitten tuo työnjohtajan homma on semmoinen, missä minä oon ehkä omimmillani.”

Aiemmat hyvät kokemukset saivat Miron hakemaan Normetille uudelleen, ja kesä tarjosi jälleen paljon uutta opittavaa. Tällä kertaa Miro koki oppineensa uutta erityisesti tuotannon hallintajärjestelmistä ja muista käytännön asioista, joita ei koulussa opi. Hän kiittää myös työyhteisön asennetta kesätyöntekijöitä kohtaan: ”Kukaan ei oleta, että kesätyöntekijät tietävät kaiken valmiiksi, vaan rauhassa opetetaan ja perehdytetään niihin asioihin.”
