Sawmill operator - Facts
Tasks:
Working as a sawmill operator mainly involves monitoring and ensuring the operation of one or more machines that manufacture different types of products. The machines are operated either manually or by controlling processes using the plant's digital control system. Packaging and sorting of timber are also part of this role.
As a sawmill operator, tasks are performed in accordance with production planning, operating and work instructions. Work is performed at different workstations such as saw, adjuster, planer, and loading.
There are about 500 sawmill operators within Södra.
“I work on refining by-products from our sawmills. We produce pellets from spruce sawdust and cutter shavings. I keep an eye on the quality in the production in order to ensure as good a delivery as possible.” Says Ida Lagergren, operator at our sawmill in Värö.
The best thing about the job is my colleagues – and that there is so much going on all the time. We have so much fun – I think it spreads to everyone around us.
