Trondheim
October 2, 2024
What will your role and tasks be with us?
You will have the responsibility for helping Nortek customers understand our unique underwater navigation technology, and ultimately become a specialist helping internal personnel as well as end users. You will work with a team of professional and competent colleagues to help guide customers through their technical questions and provide advice during their design, development, integration and testing phases. In a parallel effort you will provide back-office support to Nortek’s global sales network. You may also be involved with internal testing in the field and at the Nortek facilities.
You will have an important role in our dynamic and multidisciplinary environment. Together with skilled colleagues from our sales, development, and support teams, you will help to ensure that our subsea navigation solutions meet new and existing customers' needs and thus create growth across all market segments. The growth potential in subsea navigation is significant, and your competence will be central to helping us achieve our goals.
Some travelling is expected as it is important to meet the customer at their premises – either at an office, workshop, or vessel – to assist with technical integration needs. Training of customers and colleagues will also be expected as a part of the position

What do we do?
At Nortek, we develop and manufacture world-leading instruments that collect information about the processes taking place in our oceans. We need to understand more about the role of the oceans in areas such as climate, food production, health, business activities and energy production. Our technology is used, among other things, for studies of physical processes through the measurements of currents, waves, and turbulence. As a technology company we are forward leaning in use the same tools to aid the navigation of underwater vehicles and provide improved situational awareness. The need to understand the ocean is increasing, and our company is growing. With us, you will contribute to a product that can benefit millions of people.
What can we offer?
We are committed to your success with us and ensure that you receive good onboarding from the start. In addition to a digital introductory program, you will be enrolled in the Nortek Academy - an in-person introductory program that provides insights about all of the teams and processes happening at Nortek. It is also a great opportunity to meet other new employees from Norway and our 8 global subsidiaries physically.
At Nortek, you will be involved in many exciting tasks! You will experience great personal and professional development opportunities and gain valuable insights into our business.
Although we are established in many countries, as a Norwegian-owned company we have managed to maintain an informal tone and short decision-making paths. As an employee with us, it will give you great opportunities to influence our future and you will hopefully see the result of what you are working on relatively quickly. With us, you will feel that your contribution makes a big difference.
Our culture, employee well-being and a good working environment are important to us. We have a good diversity of nationalities, ages and professional backgrounds and have several social activities that are driven forward by our own employees and our social committee. In 2024, we have hosted social events including bowling, olabil races, beer pong and pizza, and a rafting trip in Sjoa. Our employees have access to rent our company cabins – one in Norefjell and one in Southern France. We generally have low turnover and high job satisfaction.
This job role is based in Trondheim or Oslo. If you have any questions, please contact recruiting manager Eskild Westby, mobile phone 95773905.
Application deadline 21.10.2024. Please specify which location is preferred in your application.
