Summer 2026 opportunities at Nordec

 

We have published our Summer 2026 pages, which introduce next summer’s trainee and summer employee opportunities at Nordec. The aim is to help students understand what the work is like before the specific roles are opened for applications.

The pages describe the areas where trainees usually work, including design, production and project environments. They give a realistic view of the tasks, tools and learning situations that have been common in previous trainee periods. Specific positions for 2026 will be published later, but students can already register their interest.

Opportunities for growth and development

At Nordec, trainees work with experienced colleagues on ongoing projects. You see how design, production and installation progress in practice and how different teams depend on each other’s work. The trainee period helps you build technical skills and understand the routines and responsibilities in everyday project work.

Nordec develops its operations with a focus on quality, collaboration and safe working environments. These principles shape how trainee periods are organised, including supervision, task planning and site practices. The goal is to give students a clear and structured entry into the field.

Summer in procurement at Nordec

Eero-Antti Kuittinen spent this summer as a summer procurement trainee at Nordec in the subcontracting team at the Peräseinäjoki office. Alongside his role, he is studying Industrial Engineering and Management at the University of Oulu.

What made you apply for a summer job at Nordec?
The international nature of the company’s operations caught my interest. I also wanted to see how the topics I study are applied in practice, and Nordec offered a good opportunity for that. The location of the Peräseinäjoki office was also a plus, as I am originally from Ilmajoki.

What kind of tasks have you done during the summer?
I have handled a variety of procurement tasks in the subcontracting team, including processing and receiving orders, preparing procurement documentation and researching potential new suppliers. Over the summer I have also tested my problem-solving skills and learned a lot of new things.

What have you learned that could be useful in your future studies and career?
I have learned a lot about using different systems, which will certainly be useful in the future. I have also gained insight into how supply chain management and project scheduling are carried out in practice. In addition, I have developed my communication skills, especially in an international environment.

How would you describe the team you have worked in?
The team I have worked with has been very helpful and encouraging. I have received support and guidance whenever needed and have been well included in the team. The atmosphere has been pleasantly relaxed yet efficient.

What have you especially appreciated about your time here?
I have especially valued the responsibility I have been given and the real opportunity to learn through practical work. This has given me the feeling that my contribution has been meaningful. In addition, continuous support from supervisors and colleagues has played a big role and made this summer procurement trainee Nordec experience a very positive one.

We at Nordec thank Eero-Antti for his contribution over the summer and wishes him success in his continued studies in Industrial Engineering and Management.
