Renholmen designs and delivers world-leading, high-tech machines with automated solutions for timber handling. We are now looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead diverse projects. We offer a positive, supportive culture with a flat hierarchy, where your ideas drive impactful projects and shape the future of the industry.

About the role

Renholmen is a long-term, high-tech partner to the sawmill industry. They deliver complete plants, machinery, and services to sawmills worldwide – always focusing on safety, quality, and customer benefit. In recent years, they have delivered several major plants to Finland and foresee continued strong growth in the Finnish market. Therefore, we are seeking a Project Manager to take end-to-end responsibility for the projects – from the initial meeting to the final approved installation.

Work tasks

As a Project Manager at Renholmen, you will lead technical projects ranging from minor retrofits to large-scale turnkey deliveries of complete plants.
