Summer trainee, Electrical Engineer for technical sales support, Helsinki

About the role

As the summer trainee, you will support our client's engineering team in providing electrical solutions for large AC induction motors used in demanding industrial applications worldwide.

The role is a perfect fit for someone in the later phase of their studies, and offers an opportunity to keep working part-time aside studies.

Approximately 50% of your working time is expected to be on-site in the Helsinki (Pitäjänmäki) office.
