Our vision is to create a decarbonized and circular world for our customers and for society as a whole.
Ecolifting: Our Ecolifting portfolio represents our commitment to developing lifting solutions that minimize environmental impact. Ecolifting solutions can reduce a crane's energy consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional equipment. This is achieved through a combination of advanced technologies, including regenerative braking systems that capture and reuse energy, variable frequency drives that optimize motor performance, and lightweight designs that reduce the overall energy required for lifting.
Circular Economy: We are strong advocates for the circular economy. We design our products for longevity, repairability, and recyclability. Our extensive service and modernization capabilities mean that our cranes can be maintained and upgraded over decades, extending their useful life and reducing the need for new raw materials. When a crane does eventually reach the end of its life, we work to ensure that as much of the material as possible is recycled and reused.
Reducing Our Own Footprint: We are also committed to reducing the environmental impact of our own manufacturing operations. Our factory in Hyvinkää, for example, has made significant strides in reducing its energy consumption, waste generation, and water usage. We are investing in renewable energy sources and continuously improving the efficiency of our production processes.

XIII. Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to speak Finnish to work at Konecranes? While Finnish language skills are a valuable asset, they are not a strict requirement for all positions. English is our corporate language, and a good command of English is sufficient for most roles, particularly in engineering, technology, and corporate functions. For customer-facing roles in Finland, such as field service technicians, some Finnish language ability may be preferred.
What is the cost of living in Finland? Finland offers a high quality of life with a cost of living that is moderate by Nordic standards. Hyvinkää, where our headquarters are located, is significantly more affordable than Helsinki. A single person can expect monthly living costs of approximately €1,200 to €1,500, excluding rent. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Hyvinkää ranges from approximately €500 to €800 per month.
What are the working hours? The standard working week in Finland is 37.5 to 40 hours. Most office-based roles follow a flexible working time model, allowing you to adjust your start and end times within agreed limits. Factory-based roles typically follow a shift pattern, which may include morning, afternoon, and night shifts.
Is relocation support available? For certain key positions, we may offer relocation support to help you settle in Finland. This can include assistance with finding accommodation, navigating the Finnish immigration process, and practical support during your first weeks in the country. Please discuss this with our recruitment team during the application process.
Can I apply for more than one position? Yes, you are welcome to apply for multiple positions that match your skills and experience. Please submit a separate application for each position, clearly indicating the position title and number in the subject line of each email.
What is the tax rate in Finland? Finland has a progressive income tax system. For the salary ranges offered in these positions, the effective tax rate typically ranges from approximately 25% to 40%, depending on your total income and municipality of residence. Despite the relatively high tax rates, the comprehensive public services you receive in return, including healthcare, education, and social security, represent excellent value.
What about family benefits? Finland is one of the best countries in the world for families. The Finnish social security system provides generous parental leave, child allowances, and subsidized daycare. If you move to Finland with your family, your children will have access to the world-renowned Finnish education system, which is free at all levels, from pre-school to university.
How is the weather in Finland? Finland has a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures in southern Finland typically range from 15°C to 25°C, with long daylight hours and the famous Midnight Sun in the north. Winters are cold, with temperatures often dropping below -10°C, but the snow-covered landscapes are beautiful, and Finns embrace the winter with activities like cross-country skiing, ice skating, and, of course, the sauna. The Finnish infrastructure is well adapted to the winter conditions, and daily life continues smoothly even in the coldest months.
