We offer you the opportunity to join a highly skilled team supporting Valmet customers throughout the UK and Ireland across a variety of pulp, paper, power generation, and process industries.

Automation services are a key part of Valmet's future, and this role provides exposure to advanced industrial automation technologies, diverse customer environments, and excellent opportunities for professional development. Valmet offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including overtime and on-call allowances.

• Deliver customer support, maintenance, inspections, and breakdown services across Valmet's installed automation systems.
