• A stable and well-established organisation with a strong engineering heritage

Location

This position can be based from multiple locations in Norway.

The successful candidate will be expected to spend time on site on a weekly basis as part of a collaborative engineering team. As a result, applicants should already be based in Norway or be willing and able to relocate to Norway on a permanent basis.

Security Requirements

Due to the nature of the work, security clearance is a key requirement for this position. Candidates who already hold active security clearance from a NATO member nation are strongly preferred. Applicants without active clearance may still be considered where they are eligible to obtain the required level of vetting.

Any offer of employment will be subject to the successful completion of relevant background checks and security screening.

Application Process

Please note that Norway is currently in its annual Fellesferie period and some stakeholders involved in the hiring process may be on leave. As a result, application reviews and interview scheduling may take slightly longer than usual.

If you are interested in this opportunity, meet the eligibility requirements and are able to work on site in Norway, please apply with your most up-to-date CV.
