Machine Operator at Amokabel – A Varied Role

Jesper Linehag works at Amokabel as a machine operator and coordinator. In his role as coordinator, his main responsibility is to maintain an overall overview of the entire production process and be ready to step in wherever needed. This requires broad knowledge of the machines used in production.

“At the moment, I spend a lot of time learning how our new machines work so that I can assist at several different stations in production. The coordinator role means that I need to be able to be everywhere, which makes every day different – and that’s a lot of fun,” says Jesper.

“Everyone works towards the same goal and helps each other”

Jesper has now been employed at Amokabel for almost exactly two years, and he says his time here has been extremely rewarding. He highly values that Amokabel as an employer gives him opportunities to develop both personally and professionally at a pace that suits him.

“The cooperation between us operators and management is very good. We have an open dialogue and a shared commitment to solving the challenges that arise. This creates an efficient problem-solving process and a pleasant working environment where you feel that everyone is working toward the same goal and helping each other,” he says.

What are your biggest challenges at work?

“As I mentioned earlier, I’m currently focusing a lot on learning the different machines in our production. Sometimes you really have to think things through and figure things out, and I enjoy that very much.”

What is the best part about your job?

“That you get to take a lot of responsibility. As an operator, you are involved in everything from planning and production to packing and delivery. It’s not a job where you just push a button – you’re part of the process from start to finish. I think that benefits both us as employees and our customers.”
