Jarne works on something different every day
For Jarne, it all started with an internship. It was his first introduction to the workplace, the equipment, and, above all, technical work. He now works here as a machine tool technician and spends his days working on machines you don’t often see anywhere else.
That’s exactly what makes his job so fascinating. Every machine is built differently, and when something goes wrong, the solution isn’t always immediately obvious. You have to be curious, think logically, and, above all, be eager to understand how things work.
“If something’s wrong, you have to know where to look. Why isn’t that moving? Why is it making that noise? And most importantly: how do we fix it? That process of figuring things out—that’s what gives me a sense of fulfillment.”
Learning from Years of Experience
Fortunately, Jarne doesn’t have to solve those technical puzzles on his own. He works alongside experienced colleagues who know the machines inside and out. Some of them have even been working on them longer than Jarne has been alive. That experience is especially valuable to him.
You’ll learn a lot simply by doing the work: by watching others, asking questions, and working together to find solutions. Step by step, you’ll get to know the machines better and gain experience on your own.
“You’re working here with guys who’ve sometimes been operating machines like this longer than I’ve been alive. So there’s a lot to learn from them. And you actually pick those things up naturally.”
Technology that requires precision
As a mechanical technician, Jarne works with various machine tools to repair parts. There’s a lot more to it than just operating the machine. He has to set them up correctly, know how they work, and fully understand what he’s doing to achieve the right result.
What if something goes wrong with a machine while he's working? Then he also has to be able to figure out where the problem lies and how to fix it. It's that combination of hands-on work and technical thinking that makes the job so interesting for Jarne.
