Textile process controller jobs in Finland
Textile process controllers perform textile process operations, technical functions in various aspects of design, production and quality control of textile products, and cost control for processes. They use computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) tools in order to ensure conformity of entire production process to specifications. They compare and exchange individual processes with other departments (e.g cost calculation office) and initiate appropriate actions. They analyse the structure and properties of raw materials used in textiles and assist to prepare specifications for their production, analyse and interpret test data.
Textile process controller - Which skills are essential?
The requirements, rules and applications of health and safety measures in the textile industry.
Plan and monitor textile production to achieve control on behalf of quality, productivity and delivery time.
Maintaining standards of work in order to improve and acquire new skills and work methods.
Use textile finishing machine technologies that enable the coating or laminating of fabrics.
Convert textile fibres into drafting sliver by working in the fibre opening, carding and drafting process.
Evaluating the physical properties of textiles by using testing methods, normally in accordance with a standard; it includes fibre identification and trouble shooting.
Prepare weft knitting machines. Activities related to preparing for weft knitting process, knitting to specification and keeping the work area clean and safe.
Technologies, operations, monitoring and maintenance of machines during the yarn spinning process.
The influence of chemical composition and molecular arrangement of yarn and fibre properties and fabric structure on the physical properties of textile fabrics; the different fibre types, their physical and chemical characteristics and different material characteristics; the materials used in different processes and the effect on materials as they are processed.
Addition of colour partially, according to the designed pattern, onto textile based materials. Processes for adding coloured patterns onto textile materials using printing machines and techniques (rotary of flat bed screen printing or others, heat transfer, inkjet, etc.).
Evaluate textiles and their properties in order to manufacture products in conformity with specifications.
Check characteristics of textile products like yarns, woven, knitted, braided, tufted or nonwoven textiles, finished cloths, ready-make-garments and determine the product quality along different stages of the textiles or clothing production line.

Perform the operation, monitoring and maintenance of machines and processes to manufacture nonwoven filament products, keeping efficiency and productivity at high levels.
Converting synthetic granule into man-made-fibres such as filament yarns or staple fibre yarns.
Convert slivers into yarns or threads by combing processes converting drafting card sliver to combed sliver. Form short fibre to yarn using yarn and thread processing technologies, mostly ring spinning or open-end spinning (rotor spinning) or alternative spinning techniques. Work in the drafting or drawing process converting sliver into roving and converting roving into yarn, through further drafting and twisting processes. Work on winding machines to reel the yarn from bobbins onto spools or cones.
Use warp knitting machine technologies that enable the formation of fabrics. Able to set machines for warp knitting, colour and pattern for monitoring and controlling the warp knitting process on electronic automatic warp knitting machines equipped with multifunction microprocessor and software.
Operate machines that enable weaving processes turning threads into fabrics. Setup weaving machine programmes for the machine to produce fabrics with the adequate pattern, colour and fabric density.
Development, manufacturing requirements, properties and evaluation of braided fabrics.
Use warping, sizing, drawing-in and knotting technologies that enable the formation of warps.
Perform the operation, monitoring and maintenance of machines and processes to manufacture braided products while keeping efficiency and productivity at high levels.
Perform the operation, monitoring and maintenance of machines and processes to manufacture texturised filament yarns.
Prepare for textile testing and evaluation, gathering the test samples, conducting and recording tests, validating data and presenting results.
Processes used for changing the properties of textile materials. This includes operating, monitoring and maintaining textile finishing machines.
