Koivula has worked at Aurubis for about six years. In his summer job interview, Koivula said that he could do his Bachelor’s Thesis and Master’s Thesis for the company, after which he would stay permanently at Aurubis.

And that’s exactly what happened.

“After starting at Aurubis, I haven’t felt the need to go anywhere else. On top of everything else, the work we do is important as copper is involved in a number of climate-friendly innovations.”

“I myself, together with my team, can significantly contribute to the success of this chain, for better or worse. It is rewarding when the entire chain succeeds, from order to production and delivery.”

However, the process is not always simple: A successful order-delivery chain requires seamless cooperation between several people, for which Koivula is responsible. In addition, he is responsible for managing raw material inventories and stock levels and for the scheduling of deliveries, among other things. At the same time, he must also constantly develop his own operations.

When there are many moving parts, not everything always goes as planned. Nevertheless, the main goal is always to deliver the ordered product to the customer on time.

“In recent years, most of my free time has been spent on that project.

Once we get our boat to the pier, it is easy to go fishing, or go to the ice cream kiosk or Yyteri, for example.”

Susi is originally from the Turku region and he moved to Pori to study in the early 2000s. Since then, the road has taken him elsewhere on a few occasions, but he has always found his way back to Pori.

“Life here is so much easier than in the metropolitan area, for example. Everything I need is here, and Pori is a big city on the Finnish scale. However, everyday life is less complicated and the cost of living is lower.

That’s what makes Pori a great and easy place to live in. This may be hard to understand until you experience it for yourself.”
