Technical Safety

At Aker Solutions we are committed to helping the energy industry and broader society #PowerTheChange towards a low-carbon future.
We are changemakers and problem solvers with more than 180 years of experience. Our ambitions are high. By 2030, renewables and low-carbon solutions for oil and gas will make up two-thirds of our business. Do you want to be a part of driving the transition?

With 4,000 employees globally, Life Cycle is a significant part of Aker Solutions' workforce. The largest locations are the engineering offices in Stavanger, Bergen, and Trondheim.

Life Cycle takes care of energy installations from production start to finish. The core business involves modification and maintenance of offshore and onshore oil and gas facilities, electrification of existing facilities, and exploring the offshore maintenance market for the renewable sector.

The strategic direction is to help customers reduce their carbon emissions and maximize the potential of their mature resources. Simultaneously, there is work on feasibility studies related to renewable energy, hydrogen, carbon capture, and offshore wind at our locations in Stavanger, Bergen, and Trondheim. Among our clients are leading companies such as Equinor, OKEA, Vår Energi, ConocoPhillips, and Aker BP.

We are involved in several major projects, including Troll West electrification, Mongstad Waste Water, Draugen electrification, Brasse-to-Brage tieback, Skarv satellite, Balder FPSO, Jotun FPSO and the Åsgaard portfolio.

In addition to the modification projects the segment has several framework agreements for modification and maintenance for Equinor, Shell, OKEA, and Vår Energi.

To strengthen our team and achieve our ambitions we need more engineers within the Technical Safety discipline at our locations in Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim and Kristiansund.

• Lead technical safety reviews and perform rigorous safety verifications to maintain and improve project integrity 
• Develop and maintain critical safety documentation, including escape route plans, hazardous area layouts, fire and gas detection schematics, fire protection data sheets, and systems for both active and passive fire protection.

• Higher technical education, with degrees at the bachelor's and master's levels.
• A minimum of 5 years' professional experience, particularly in roles that demand deep technical expertise.
