Equal opportunities for all

We need all kinds of experts, from technology to finance and HR management. If necessary, we can also train production employees ourselves, so previous training or experience in metalworking is not necessary – motivation is key. Finnish language skills are required for production tasks, but English can be used for clerical roles. More than 30% of our team are women, and we’re proud to represent six different nationalities. Diversity is one of our core values, and we’re committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone – regardless of background, role, or gender.

Production takes place in different shifts, from simple day shifts to uninterrupted five-shift work. White-collar workers can work partially remotely and use the flexibility offered of a working-time account. Our plant in Tikkakoski, Finland, is well connected by public transport, for example from Jyväskylä. For those who prefer to travel to work by their own car, we offer free, heated parking spaces, as well as a charging point for electric vehicles.

  • Exercise and cultural benefits
  • Massage benefits
  • Leisure-time accident insurance
  • Free parking with electrical outlet
  • Lunch benefits
  • Free tickets to the theatre and sports events
  • Possibility to use 2 working days per month for studying

Wellbeing and work-life balance

We invest in employee wellbeing through extended occupational healthcare, accident insurance, flexible working hours, remote work possibilities for office staff, and active wellbeing initiatives. Whether it’s part-time work during a life transition or heading out for a midday errand, our flexible policies are grounded in mutual trust and the belief that life and work should fit together.

We’ve recently completed a year-long company-wide wellbeing program and regularly hold staff surveys and dialogue forums to keep improving together.

Your journey – growth and career development

At Tikka Spikes, we’re proud of the long careers our people build with us – the average length of employment is nearly 11 years. This is no coincidence. We’re committed to continuously investing in employee wellbeing, job satisfaction, and professional growth. We offer opportunities to study alongside work, pursue new skills, and grow into new roles. You can use up to 2 working days a month for your studies.

We believe in the freedom to act and the power of new ideas. Everyone is encouraged to contribute and innovate, share new ideas and shape the future of our company together. And when great ideas emerge, we make sure to recognize and reward them.

Aki Kuitunen

Aki Kuitunen headed 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 worked in the maintenance team leader position from 2015 onwards. In Kuitunen’s opinion, the best thing about the work was 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.
