I work as a project manager in Fermion’s unit in Oulu. We manufacture a wide range of demanding active pharmaceutical ingredients, which naturally brings variety to the factory environment. The very best thing about our work community is the supportive atmosphere and the hard-working professionals. Because it’s easy to change units within the company, I have also had the opportunity to work in Espoo and Hanko. I have advanced in my career and I’ve been given more and more responsibility.”

Orion develops its operations continually, and I am able to genuinely influence my role. The life cycle of systems may be long but this does not mean that change does not happen. We are constantly striving to stay in the vanguard of the field and we work on the same questions as any technology company. Orion also offers stability and permanence to its employees.”
