Metsä Group’s summer job application period opens today and runs until 15 February 2026. We offer a wide variety of responsible summer job opportunities across Finland – at production sites, in group functions, business areas and wood supply districts. Students from diverse educational backgrounds are welcome to apply, whether they are at the beginning or at an advanced stage of their studies.
Proven to be great summer jobs
Metsä Group’s summer employees have the opportunity to learn about the forest industry, industrial environments, processes and equipment, as well as tasks related to wood supply and forest services, in addition to developing expertise in their own field. Summer traineeships provide a chance to apply studies in practice and deepen professional competence in different roles. Summer jobs also teach important working life skills, such as independence, problem-solving, teamwork and leadership.
Metsä Group has received positive feedback as a summer employer: 94 per cent of last summer’s summer employees would recommend us to a friend. In a summer job survey conducted by Duunitori, many respondents praised the strong sense of community, the helpful and inclusive atmosphere, and equal treatment. Flexible working hours and fair pay were also highlighted.
Summer job as a career kickstart
“Metsä Group’s summer jobs offer opportunities to learn, develop and build networks for the future. Feedback from the summer job survey shows the openness and supportiveness of our work community and that summer employees are genuinely involved in meaningful work. Our goal is to provide every summer employee with a valuable experience and a strong start to their future career,” says Pertti Hietaniemi, SVP, Human Resources at Metsä Group.
Metsä Group is committed to developing a diverse, equal and inclusive culture where everyone has the opportunity to succeed in working life and be an equal member of the work community. We use anonymous recruitment – ensuring that all applicants are assessed on equal terms.
