Ville Luoma-aho<\/strong> first started working at M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu when he was just 15 years old. He says he has worked in almost all production departments, except extrusion and logistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot can happen in 18 years, including temporary contracts and agency work before being hired permanently. In my last role, I worked about five to six years in the foundry. At some point, shift work started to wear me out, and I began thinking about whether there was a chance to study my way into day shifts. I considered it for years before I finally decided to give it a try. Studying is never a waste,\u201d says Ville.<\/p>\n

This spring, Ville will graduate as an engineer in mechanical engineering from Vaasa University of Applied Sciences. His thesis focused on a comparison of measuring devices used in the foundry. For the past year and a half, he has worked as a profile designer and also partially handles tool orders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really grateful that they believed in me even though I wasn\u2019t yet a qualified engineer when I got the profile designer position. While working in the foundry, I took some study leave, but mostly I\u2019ve completed my studies alongside work and primarily remotely, which luckily is possible these days. Some days have been tough, spending the whole day in front of a computer \u2014 first working and then studying,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Design work keeps things interesting<\/h2>\n

Switching to day shifts also fit well with Ville\u2019s personal life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I decided to start a family, moving to day shifts was absolutely priceless. It\u2019s also refreshing to see production from this side. I\u2019ve learned that there\u2019s much more to the process than just extrusion and casting,\u201d says Ville.<\/p>\n

Ville finds the work of a profile designer interesting because no profile and no workday is ever the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a designer, I first go through the drawings and customer requirements for the profile and take a broad look at its shapes and dimensions. At this point, we evaluate things like whether the profile is too heavy or too light. We then fine-tune the final extrusion tool together with production. We can\u2019t promise anything to the customer before that. The job is a balancing act between production and the customer. The sales team is always the primary contact for the customer, although we do occasionally have joint meetings during the design phase,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

A second family<\/h2>\n

Ville works in a hybrid model, like many others in the sales office. He usually works from home but enjoys spending time at the office during agreed team days or whenever it suits his schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find I can concentrate better when working remotely. Sometimes I get so focused that I even forget to take breaks. M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu is a good balance between demanding and relaxed as an employer. The team here is a bit like a second family. There\u2019s no need to stress because everyone knows their tasks and responsibilities, but there\u2019s still room for casual conversation. There\u2019s more to life than aluminium, even if everything here does revolve around it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

In his free time, Ville enjoys a typical family life and staying active.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur soon-to-be two-year-old keeps me busy for sure, but I still try to stay active. I run, go to the gym, and cycle. Right now, our everyday life has a good rhythm, even if there\u2019s not much room for anything extra. But it\u2019s a good kind of routine, and I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m missing out. Maybe someday I\u2019ll go for a master\u2019s degree, but for now, I\u2019ll take a break first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
