Senior Service Designer / Konecranes Oy
Material handling industry stands on the brink of technological revolution that will blur the lines between physical and digital spheres. We can already see today how emerging technologies like AI, advanced wireless networks or fully autonomous vehicles, disrupt our thinking on what is possible and what is not. Konecranes has approximately 600,000 devices on its maintenance books and 20,000 of these are remotely monitored, providing a constant flow of data to the customer portal for analysis. Our digital solutions are not pilots or MVPs, they are already full-blown global implementations that we are developing further. One tool that you are developing further is Konecranes ZONE, which allows customer to explore products, self-designing terminal concepts and products as well as ordering spare parts, monitoring assets behaviour in yourKONECRANES and contact and discuss with Konecranes experts.
We’re fascinated by the opportunities digitalization offers to our core business, internal operations and exploring new digital growth – and so are our customers. If you feel you share our passion, then you could be our new team member in our Service Design & Partnerships Development team as a (Senior) Service Designer!

Your work will guide us in defining the right directions for developing Konecranes digital services and boosting customer satisfaction. As our (Senior) Service Designer you will work in close co-operation with customers, development teams and stakeholders mainly from Business Area Port Solutions.
