A suitable background is typically a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Automation Engineering, enabling you to speak the same language as the system admins and understand the boundaries and requirements of automation and OT systems. Experience in a regulated industry is an advantage, but your background may also be built in other ways. This position is full-time and permanent and can be located to Orion's Espoo, Turku or Salo sites. Hybrid working model is possible in accordance with current company practices, which is currently 3 on-site and max. 2 remote days per week.
