Summer Work:
May – August 2020, substituting for staff during holidays and a possibility to turn into long term work in Tampere Finland. These positions will be harder to do with no Finnish language skills, but not impossible. We are looking for the following:
1-2 x Cameramakers trainees
Becoming a trainee under Master Jukka and assisting the other Cameramakers. Essentially a test period for someone aiming to become a fulltime camera repair professional with us here in Tampere.
2 x Product controllers for Kamerastore.com
Helping the repair technicians and product listing team. You will be trained by Cameramakers to perform diagnostics testing on camera gear using specialized equipment.
You will also be helping the Kamerastore product team by working on product photography and making drafts of product listings waiting to be approved for the web shop. If you are marketing oriented, there definately will be a chance to use those skills too. The more you know about film camera gear the easier this will be. But all can be learned and we will teach you our process.
You will switch between helping the product team and helping the technicians based on their needs and the skills you learn.
1 x Lab / Sales assistant for Kamerastore.com
Working in the inhouse lab and kiosk. The lab work consists of developing film with diferent methods and scanning them with our Noritsu HS-1800. The kiosk is in the adjacent room to the lab and consists mainly of taking in film from customers and selling film.

Meant to be learning experiences that take you a step further into camera geekery, while having plenty of free time to pursue either your own projects or enjoying the Finnish summer.

Useful position for school training needs etc. Travels, lodging and daily living costs will be covered.
Basically if you have some passion, knowledge, or special skill related to our operation, we
are happy to have you under the same roof and help us with work that comes up day to day.
1 x Content generator:
Someone who has knowledge of film cameras (the more the better) and proven experience in videography and photography. You would be creating content for our Instagram, YouTube, website, and others. This can be simple beautiful product photography or it can be informative videos with gear, employees, and dialogue.
We aim to have one extra pair of hands on this for the summer and are looking for people with a proven track record of productivity. This can be anything from running your local soccer clubs social media for the last years to bringing your existing YouTube channel to Finland for a few months. Compensation, timetables and working strategy will be tailored accordingly.
