CIMCORP CAREERS —
Engineer going IT
Toni’s interest in computers led him to Cimcorp. His work in IT Department is not predictable, nor is it easy or simple, but he enjoys the challenges. In his book, exceptionally skilled people and an atmosphere that encourages co-operation are highly valued.
From traineeship to challenging tasks
Toni grew up on a small farm watching his dad fix machinery like Caterpillars for living, and so it was natural for him to pursue studies within engineering. However, while still at school, he spent nights fixing computers along with a Cimcorp employee and was offered an IT summer trainee position here at Cimcorp. Toni took the opportunity and is, luckily for us, still working here to this day, now as a Network Specialist.
There is no such thing as a typical day at work for Toni.
“There is no particular time or place for an incident to happen. Somedays I operate as a helpdesk, sometimes I spend all day and night in here solving a problem. Balance is the key. Intensive work days require some low key days with routine tasks.”
Due to the nature of the job, you have to be flexible and open to uncertainty and inconsistency. “This job requires patience, constant learning and problem solving initiative.” As the technology has evolved, so has his job description. “Now that everything is so virtual, many problems can be solved remotely.”
Good atmosphere and high level of expertize
Toni appreciates the great spirit at work and appreciates the frequent group activities that take place among the staff. “People around here are not too serious and that’s the great thing about this company, fun and relaxed colleagues.” Toni thinks that the competence of the employees at Cimcorp builds a great and supportive atmosphere that feeds innovation and openness. Toni believes that the power of teamwork cannot be overestimated. It is important to have comprehensive general knowledge in order to understand cause-effect relations, but even more so it is essential to have specialists across different sectors. “You don’t have to know everything about everything, but you do have to know everything about something.”
Motivated by opportunities and prospects
In his job Toni is driven by all the possibilities that can be achieved with information technology.
“The milk you drink and the tires you drive are after all handled by the software and automation we provide. Fundamentally, it’s all about simplifying processes and facilitating people’s lives.”
Toni believes that in order to remain its competitiveness in the growing market, Cimcorp’s best assets are to remain agile and ability to customize solutions while also standardizing and developing them. The main lesson Toni has learned throughout the years working at Cimcorp is that there is not a single problem that can’t be solved.

“The company is growing and we are all very busy, yet we have managed to maintain a casual, open, and pleasant work climate. There is always room for humor and light banter, even if everything does not go exactly as planned.”
Carolyn deals with post-commissioning support on projects
“Relationships are important because I rely on my colleagues to ensure my projects run smoothly. If I can help others do their job effectively, then those people will be able to help me as well.”
Don clarifies automation
“An important and necessary part of my day to day is the internal sales process. I make sure that planners have the necessary information and resources, while maintaining focus on the critical customer requirements.”
Joel networks on installation sites
“I often say that a site manager must know something about everything, but not too much. The key is to know who to ask.”
Adam analyzes customer needs
“I like the variety and having different challenges every day. There’s a feeling of satisfaction when you figure it out.”
Jukka-Pekka thrives at the customer interface
“It is a pleasure to be part of such an innovative sales team."
Antti returns to Cimcorp after 20 years
Although Antti became a Cimcorper recently, he already knew the company quite well. With a good reputation as an employer and interesting growth prospects, Cimcorp’s call was too inviting to miss.
Juha started as a summer trainee in assembly
Juha’s road to Cimcorp was quite similar to that of many other fitters. He was employed after a traineeship, and has worked for the company ever since. He values the variation the job offers as well as possibilities to develop.

Timo takes care of robotics with a human touch
Working as a project manager requires well-rounded skills, but it’s the experience that helps you to manage a project on the go. Timo states, “There are aspects of projects that aren’t written in black and white that you have to realize, and that can only be gained through experience.”
Ville benefits of people skills in robotics
As surprising as it may sound, the need for social skills is what attracts Ville in robotics. Working closely with customers, the communication must be open and co-operation oriented.
Juha is constantly learning in global environment
The deal breaker was that my first project would be in Australia, which was too exciting to turn down. To this day, Juha still reminisces about his time spent in Australia. “It was a life changing experience."
