In recent years, we have also expanded our business with a smaller local installation department and a subsidiary working with solid fuel products and hybrid heating. We currently have offices in Oskarshamn, Ulricehamn, and Motala. We are a smaller company with short decision-making paths and close contact between different parts of the business.

Because we are a smaller company, you get the opportunity to influence both your own role and how we work. We believe in short decision-making paths, personal responsibility, and that good ideas should be able to be implemented without unnecessary bureaucracy. At the same time, being a smaller company means you sometimes need to roll up your sleeves and help where needed.

In addition to competitive salary, we offer a generous benefits package including flexible working hours, employee discounts, occupational pension, and insurance. We also have two hours of mandatory gym training during work hours each week. For us, employee health is a top priority and something that should permeate our entire business.
