?what sort of boat building?

Cruise ships, dinghies, yachts, supply vessels, cargo ships? And what area are you qualified in? Electrical, hydraulics, mechanics, outfitting, architecture....?

If you want us to answer then you have to take the time and effort to write a bit more than that...

The only boat building job listed is about 50 kilometers southeast of Kokkola. Of course you will probably need to be fluent in Finnish.

Thank you for asking,
I am specializing in building puuvene - wooden boats, and the area is architecture and actual construction of it. I have been studying in Sweden for qualification, however, would like to have job in Finland and I do speak Finnish.

Well... that does make it easier. Can't be that many who are building wooden boats, so you need just to find out who they are (google) and start making calls. I would guess this is such a niche market that you need to make the contacts directly. Hmm... or... well, how about fixing wooden boats? I would guess there is a bigger market for that. Perhaps call the boat clubs in the Helsinki area?

Then find yourself a profession that has jobs in your area . Boatbuilding of wooden boats is not only a dying art but only done in certain specific areas - you are lucky in the sense its mostly Swedish-speaking coast for sea-boats or then inland in Savo.
