• Collaborate across teams to deliver on time, on budget, and to spec

• Join design reviews and provide guidance to junior engineers

• Work with customers, suppliers and projects all over the world.

Bonus Points If You

• The chance to own your designs from start to finish

• Modern Office in Vestby (just outside Oslo), flexible and collaborative work setup
