What do you do?
I am a planer operator at Sweden Timber Malmbäck.
I started in Malmbäck back in 2007 when the new planing line was built. The first few months I worked mostly on the output of the planing mill with packaging, plastic wrapping and specs. But pretty quickly I started learning how to set up and feed the planer.
Today, that's what I do most, setting up and feeding the planer with wood. I also check the quality and make sure that the products are as they should be. It's very important! And that we maintain a high production rate.
What makes you develop?
I always want to get better at my job, faster at setting the planer, reducing waste and making production flow as quickly and smoothly as possible. Now it only takes one or two pieces before I get the settings right!
It is also challenging to train new colleagues. You have to adapt to how different people learn while also ensuring that you maintain the production pace.
It is important that you have 100% focus on your work when you are here to achieve a good result!
What is the best thing about working at Sweden Timber?
The colleagues, both managers and other workmates. It feels like it's easy to have a good relationship with everyone. We're all on the same team and it feels like everyone listens. I'm very happy with my job and Sweden Timber.
