Company Story
Olsträd Corporation has been in business since 2007; Combustion 911 launched in 2009. Industrial combustion is a niche industry with a high level of customization; building a knowledge base provides the tools to solve problems but doesn’t diminish the challenge. Team members who have been with us for over a decade continue to encounter fresh puzzles. Our automation business is pure customization. We are immersed in leading edge technology and maintain a fluid company culture that encourages creativity and problem solving.
Location
We’re located in Kent, Ohio — a twenty- to thirty-minute commute from the Akron area. Kent is a college town offering a wealth of remarkable landmarks and businesses. Our building is situated between two sets of operating train tracks, and the Cuyahoga River is a short walk away, where seasonal kayaking is extremely popular.
Part of our culture is promoting a healthy environment for our team members. We are smoke free, and 100% of our team is vaccinated against COVID-19.
Application Process
Please submit your resumé through Handshake and include your GPA (resumes without GPAs will not be considered). The first phone interview is brief (10-15 minutes); the second phone interview is more intensive (30-45 minutes). Following this is an informal, in-person interview with one or two members of the management team and the president of our company.
We take recruiting very seriously; our application process could take up to two weeks from start to finish. In the case that the position is formally offered and accepted, the start date could be as soon as the following Monday, pending prior obligations on the part of the applicant.
