Environmental and Fire Safety Technician

Employer: Easpring Finland New Materials Oy

Location of work: Kotka, Finland (on-site)

Easpring Finland is developing a battery materials plant in Kotka to meet the growing demand for battery materials in Europe. The

plant will produce cathode active materials required for electric vehicle batteries.

As an Environmental and Fire Safety Technician, you will play a key role in managing Easpring’s environmental matters, including

the implementation of the environmental monitoring plan, internal and external regulatory reporting, and fire safety systems.

The role involves daily monitoring, documentation and troubleshooting of environmental and fire protection systems, as well as

coordination of related service providers. Statutory inspections, specialized maintenance, system modifications and the

interpretation of regulatory requirements remain the responsibility of qualified experts and HSE management.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to the development of the HSE culture at Easpring Finland New Materials

Oy.

The position is ideal for a hands-on problem solver who enjoys working with environmental tasks, technical troubleshooting and

practical activities outside a traditional office environment.

• Coordinate matters related to the connection to the emergency response centre, including contracts, contact persons and

equipment-related matters.

• Act as the designated operator for the gas extinguishing system and ensure its continuous operational readiness and safe

operation.

• Ensure inspections and other activities are carried out in accordance with applicable legislation and the maintenance

programme.

• Be responsible for the statutory inspections, maintenance and pressure testing of the property's portable fire extinguishers in

cooperation with an external service provider.

• Be responsible for the company's civil defence shelter, including its condition, equipment, availability and maintenance

programme.

• Suitable vocational or technical education and strong practical experience, preferably in Chemical, Process, Energy,

Environmental Engineering or a related field.

• Good understanding of core safety regulations, technical diagnostics and monitoring equipment, as well as practical experience

in maintaining and inspecting complex protection systems.

• Practical experience in the installation, maintenance and commissioning of fire safety and environmental systems and other

safety and protection systems.

• Full professional proficiency in Finnish. This technical role requires a strong understanding of Finnish environmental and

local fire safety legislation, the ability to maintain detailed building maintenance documentation, familiarity with local

compliance requirements, and the ability to communicate directly with building owners and emergency services. Fluent written

and spoken Finnish is therefore a strict requirement for the role.

• A key role in developing Easpring's HSE culture and contributing to work that matters for environmental and fire safety in the

future of the battery materials industry.
