Let’s continue to introduce the career stories of our good employees. Jani works at Harju Elekter Finland, in the contract manufacturing team, and manufactures electrical cabinets. Jani’s career path in production began over twenty years ago. His career in the electrical industry took him by surprise, but he says that he likes working in the industry and the choice has felt right. Thanks to the interesting and versatile work tasks and good team spirit, Jani says that he enjoys working at Harju Elekter.

Jani works at Harju Elekter in the production contract manufacturing team and manufactures electrical cabinets. He began just over twenty years ago when Harju Elekter Finland was still operating under the Satmatic name. ”While at my former job, I heard that there were vacancies available at Satmatic and was recommended to contact them. I called them and got a position. In addition to myself, a couple of my other colleagues started working here too.” Jani got a permanent job after three months of working and says that he has enjoyed working at Harju Elekter from the start.

In his work, Jani says that he especially likes the flexible working hours and working the day shift. Jani also says that the manufacture of electrical cabinets is interesting and varied. ‘’I enjoy my job, and making electrical cabinets is fascinating as the cabinets are always slightly different. Over the years, it has been great to get involved in big projects and manufacture cabinets for new customers”, says Jani. Jani’s colleagues also deserve a special mention. ”One of the big reasons why it’s nice to work here and why I have enjoyed working here for a long time is the good colleagues and a good team spirit. We have about 15 people in the contract manufacturing team and some new colleagues have just joined the team”, says Jani.

Jani mentions that the most memorable moments of his career are when the work has been done well and there has been good feedback from customers.

Jani mentions that Harju Elekter’s new tagline, ”Electrifying Tomorrow”, is a good illustration of how the world is electrifying fast. “We have been pioneers in the Finnish market for a long time, and the quality and durability of solutions are very important. It’s important to make good, durable, and sustainable products for customers,” says Jani, explaining the meaning of the tagline from his point of view.

Looking back on his childhood, Jani says that, even in middle school, he didn’t have a specific dream job. ”I’ve always been interested in information technology, so I applied to study it back in the day. At the time, the electrical industry was my second option, however, the information technology program was not opened, so I ended up studying the electrical industry. I’ve enjoyed working in the industry and I have never felt like I’ve made the wrong choice,” Jani says.

Jani says that he has spent his free time in competitive dance for years, practising for 23 years. ”Nowadays I don’t have an active hobby like I had when I was younger, but I regularly go to the gym and play disc golf. I also like to spend time in nature and go hiking in the forest.”, Jani says.
