Planer Operator

Who Are We? Vida Hestra is part of the Vida Group, one of Sweden's largest players in the forest and timber industry. We are a group with approximately 1,800 employees and operate 27 production facilities throughout southern Sweden. We work with wood as our material, making us a sustainable and secure industry for the future. Our team includes both men and women with diverse educational backgrounds and experience. A common misconception about the sawmill industry is that it involves heavy physical labor, but we want to change that perception! Much of the heavy work is handled by automated machines, which means we need personnel to monitor and partially control the machine lines. 1 position(s).
