Join our professional team

Do you want to develop your skills as a member of our professional team? We have jobs for experts not only in metalworking, but also in finance, R&D, logistics and many other fields.

Tikka Spikes as an employer

We need all kinds of experts, from technology to finance and HR management. If necessary, we can train production employees ourselves, so previous training or experience in metalworking is not necessary, but we do appreciate good motivation. Finnish language skills are required for production tasks, but English can be used for clerical tasks. More than 40 percent of our employees are women. We want our team to be as diverse as possible.

His father Simo Pirttimäki worked at Tikka from 1980 to 2015, first as a foreman and eventually as CEO. Tomi Pirttimäki began working summers at the plant in the early 2000s and currently works as a product development engineer.

Aki Kuitunen

Aki Kuitunen heads the five-person maintenance team at Tikka Spikes. He first joined Tikka Spikes as a summer worker in 2008. After completing his engineering studies, he has been working in his current position since 2015. In Kuitunen’s opinion, the best thing about his work is getting to learn something new and develop as a professional. In the future, Kuitunen plans to study business in order to improve his opportunities to transfer to even more responsible positions. Kuitunen recommends the metal industry as a workplace because of its diversity.
