Experiences of working as a telecommunication installer

“Voimatel’s strength as an employer is definitely the great team spirit. It’s nice how well I’ve been welcomed into the team, and as a new and young professional, I don’t have to stress about things.”
Tomi, telecommunications technician

“The best thing about this job, in my opinion, is the right amount of independence, being able to plan and handle things on my own. Of course, it requires being able to handle tasks responsibly and independently.”
Tomi, telecommunications technician

“In school, you learn the basics, but the real job, what it actually involves, how it’s done, what it entails, and the equipment and technology involved, you have to learn that on the job. The work is independent, but help is also available when needed, both from your own team and from other teams, reciprocally.”
Paula, telecommunications technician
