Hydro Aluminium Metal is dedicated to improving safety for all our employees every day. We are now seeking an engaged and dedicated individual to strengthen our HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) efforts in Porsgrunn, with a special focus on the operations of HalZero.

Help shape the future of sustainable aluminium production. As a global leader in the aluminium industry, Hydro is committed to advancing new and existing technologies that contribute to a greener, more sustainable world.

By December 2023, we began construction of the HalZero Test Facility in Porsgrunn, marking a significant milestone in our sustainability agenda. Our efforts to decarbonize aluminium production were recognized at COP28, where we were honored as an Energy Transition Changemaker. HalZero is just one of many initiatives driving Hydro's commitment to near-zero CO2 aluminium.
