Work where your work truly matters
At Tamturbo, we are changing how the world produces compressed air. Our high-speed turbo compressors deliver 100% oil-free compressed air – and uniquely, the entire compressor is completely oil-free. That means no risk of oil contaminating our customers’ end products or the air their employees breathe.
By making it possible to give up oil altogether, we help customers forget about oil changes, oily condensate handling and waste oil disposal. If you want to work on clean, smart technology that makes industrial production safer, more sustainable and more efficient, Tamturbo is a place where your work truly matters.

Why Tamturbo
Tamturbo is a Finnish cleantech company that designs and builds something genuinely new: 100% oil-free, Touch-Free turbo compressors that help some of the world’s largest manufacturers cut energy use, remove oil waste and lower the lifetime cost of their compressed air.
Our compressors run at some of the world’s leading manufacturers in food and beverage, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical and electronics, the kind of companies that cannot accept any risk of oil in their compressed air. When one of our machines goes live, the plant stops producing roughly 40 to 60 litres of oil waste a year, uses up to 20% less energy, and can recover heat it used to throw away.

What it is like to work here
Tamturbo is small enough that your work is visible and large enough to reach real customers on three continents. Engineers take problems from first-principles physics to a running machine in a demanding factory. Salespeople sit across the table from CFOs and plant directors at some of the largest companies in the world. Service engineers commission machines at mills and food plants across Europe.
- Engineer-to-engineer culture. We argue with numbers, not adjectives, and decisions follow the evidence. Seniority does not win the argument.
- International from the start. Customers, partners and colleagues sit in Finland, Poland, Belgium, the United States, Asia and beyond, and many roles involve travel.
- Ownership without bureaucracy. In a company this size, one capable person can change how something is done and see the result fast.
- Work with a point. Every compressor we replace removes oil waste, lowers energy use and cuts CO2.

The roles and teams at Tamturbo
Here is where the work happens. The teams below, and the kinds of roles each one holds, give a picture of the careers people build at Tamturbo. We have no open positions listed right now. This is here so that when a seat does open, the right people already know us. If one of these areas is your field and you are among the best at it, we would still like to hear from you.
Global Sales & Application Engineering
Our main growth area
What the team does. We sell to CFOs, plant directors, procurement teams and sustainability leads at some of the world’s largest manufacturers. Selling here is technical: a conversation starts with the customer’s compressed-air demand and energy bill and ends with a ten-year total-cost-of-ownership model. We work across EMEA, the Americas and Asia-Pacific through a mix of direct sales and distributor partners.
Roles in this team: B2B industrial capital-equipment sales, technical application engineering, key account management, business development, channel and distribution management.
What makes it different. You are selling a genuinely better product, not a faster version of an old one. When you open a TCO comparison, the numbers do the persuading, and you learn enough compressor engineering to hold your own with a plant director.
Product Development & Engineering
What the team does. We develop the core of Tamturbo technology in-house: the aerodynamics of the compressor stages, the active magnetic bearing control, permanent-magnet motor design, variable-speed drive integration and thermodynamic optimisation. Two and three-stage compressors, titanium impellers and stainless-steel heat exchangers, all designed and owned by our engineers.
Roles in this team: compressor aerodynamics, AMB control engineering, electro-mechanical design, thermodynamics, power electronics, mechanical and structural engineering, system integration.
What makes it different. The machine has no contact in its air path, so the design starts from first principles rather than a legacy screw compressor. Magnetic bearing control in particular is rare expertise, and you build it here.
Software & Digital Technology
What the team does. We build the brain of the compressor: PLC-based control, the HMI, two-way remote monitoring and diagnostics, predictive-maintenance algorithms and customer-facing analytics. We are moving from third-party remote-access tools to our own digital layer.
Roles in this team: PLC/HMI automation software, embedded control, remote monitoring and IoT, data engineering, software architecture, industrial cybersecurity.
What makes it different. Your code runs a machine in a paper mill at 3am and catches a developing fault before it becomes a stoppage. The loop from a release to a real operational effect is weeks, not years.
Service, Aftermarket & Customer Success
What the team does. Commissioning our compressors, running the Care-Free service model, managing the global partner network and making sure customers get what we promised. The team handles factory and site acceptance testing, condition-based maintenance, remote diagnostics, and the training and certification of service partners worldwide.
Roles in this team: field service engineering, commissioning, condition monitoring, aftermarket sales, partner management, customer success.
What makes it different. A Tamturbo compressor needs very few service events. When you do go on site, it is for meaningful work, not an oil change, and remote monitoring often lets you advise before the customer notices anything.
Operations & Quality
What the team does. Final assembly and performance testing at our Ylöjärvi site, supply-chain management, quality control under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, procurement of specialised components and supplier development.
Roles in this team: production engineering, quality management (ISO 9001/14001), supply chain, procurement, lean manufacturing, test engineering.
What makes it different. You assemble a machine that will run for 15 to 20 years with little intervention, to a quality bar set by some of the world’s most demanding manufacturers. Every unit is tested to a performance baseline before it leaves the factory.
Finance & Business Operations
What the team does. Financial controlling, reporting and business analysis across the group in Finland and the US, supporting the management team on strategic and operational decisions, investor reporting, and building the processes that scale with the business.
Roles in this team: financial controlling, business analysis, FP&A, IFRS and local GAAP, US entity administration, ERP and business systems.
What makes it different. Tamturbo is at an inflection point, and finance is part of how the company grows and wins rather than a reporting factory. You work directly with the CEO and leadership team.
Candidate traits
What we look for in every candidate
We do not hire for titles. We hire people who are demonstrably excellent at what they do, who learn fast and who push the thinking forward. The traits that matter most:
- Technical depth. You know your field well enough to disagree with the textbook when the evidence warrants it.
- A hands-on attitude. In a company this size the distance between deciding and doing is short, and we need people comfortable in both places.
- An entrepreneurial mindset. You see the problem before you are asked, and you propose the fix rather than wait for a brief.
- Intellectual honesty. You use numbers, not adjectives, and when you do not know something you say so and then find out.
- International fluency. English is our working language for customer and partner contact, and many roles involve travel.
