Pasi Aho, Spare Parts Specialist
I am Pasi Aho, and I currently work as a spare parts specialist at Outokummun Metalli. I am responsible for the delivery of harvester head spare parts and also handle tasks related to shipping, logistics, and materials management. I started here in 2005, so I’ve been with the company for about 20 years. Initially, I worked in spare parts sales and shipping, but my role has expanded over the years as the company has developed.
I completed a basic education in electrical engineering at vocational school in Outokumpu. Before my current role, I worked at the Geological Survey of Finland in electronics and process-related tasks, but when this opportunity at Outokummun Metalli arose, I decided to seize it, and I have never regretted it. The company was already familiar to me because my father worked as a welder at Outokummun Metalli from its founding in 1980 until his retirement.
Independent and responsible work
The best part of my current job is its independence: I get to plan and schedule my work myself. In my role, the most important skills are the ability to anticipate and see the big picture. This skill has developed over the years and has also taught me that you must be able to adapt to changes. You never know what a new day will bring, as customer situations change, and we must respond quickly. In the world of spare parts codes, precision is also essential, so in addition to seeing the big picture, you must carefully handle detailed information.
The drive to get things done
Outokummun Metalli is an excellent workplace, with a great work atmosphere and a strong drive to get things done at the factory. I am satisfied with my current role, but of course, I am open to whatever development the future may bring. Attitude is key—when you have the enthusiasm to learn, it will take you far.
Outdoor activities balance work
In my free time, I practice Thai boxing and stay active outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and snowboarding are guaranteed ways to get me outdoors.
