The mill, forestry and related activities will create around 10,000 new permanent jobs in its full value chain. The site of the mill will be close to the city of Paso de los Toros, in department of Durazno in the central Uruguay. 

We need the right people to make it all reality. This is an exciting opportunity to gain valuable international project experience as the team is first based in Helsinki, Finland and later (H1/2021) the work will continue at the mill site in Uruguay. At the time of relocation you will be offered comprehensive support. The assignment in Uruguay will last until the end of 2022.
