JOB DESCRIPTION

You'll be part of an experienced team supporting clients across industries with vibration and noise-related challenges. The role offers professional development, mentorship from skilled (and world renowned) colleagues, and the freedom to shape your own path within a niche area that matches your strengths and interests.

The person we hire will be responsible for helping to grow our Vibration Noise Dynamics business in Norway.

The Role
Based on your background, the position offers a dynamic mix of office-based engineering and on-site support, both onshore and offshore, for high-profile clients. You'll work independently at times, so a proactive mindset is essential. Whether analyzing data, troubleshooting vibration issues, or collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, your work will contribute directly to solving real-world challenges. If you're looking for a role that blends technical challenges, autonomy, and the chance to grow within a supportive team, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

You will join a strong team locally in Norway and therefore all candidates must currently have the right to reside/work in Norway. This is not a remote working position.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Key Objectives

The right candidate for the role will have a blend of experience, for example, the ability to:
  • Build and analyse computational models to evaluate structural dynamics, fatigue, and noise propagation, supporting safe and efficient design and operations.
  • Perform piping vibration screening assessments in accordance with the Energy Institute's guidelines, contributing to the prevention of fatigue failures in process pipework.
  • Conduct offshore and onshore vibration assessments, including hands-on data collection and troubleshooting investigations to identify and resolve vibration-related issues.
  • Support business development by attending client meetings, identifying opportunities, and promoting Wood's vibration consultancy services in the region.
  • Prepare high-quality technical documentation, including reports, drawings, specifications, and engineering notes, to communicate findings and recommendations.
  • Engage with clients and project stakeholders to discuss technical matters, present solutions, and ensure alignment with project goals.
  • Contribute to engineering bids and proposals and actively participate in the introduction of innovative ideas and practices to enhance team performance and service delivery.


QUALIFICATIONS

Skills and Qualifications
  • Typically, 5+ years of relevant engineering experience (more experienced candidates can also be considered), preferably within the offshore energy sector or related industries.
  • Solid understanding of vibration phenomena affecting machinery, static equipment, and structural systems, with practical experience in field measurements and diagnostics.
  • Familiarity with vibration measurement tools such as transducers and analyzers, and experience with simulation software e.g. ANSYS, BOSpulse, SolidWorks, or similar tools.
  • Knowledge of excitation sources and their impact on vibration, with the ability to apply Energy Institute Guidelines to both greenfield and brownfield projects.
  • A proactive team player who can also work independently in field and office settings, contributing to client relationships and identifying opportunities to expand Wood's presence.
  • Bachelor or master degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Fluent in English, with strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively collaborate with clients and colleagues. Fluency in Norwegian is desirable.

Key elements of the Wood Norway Consulting environment:
  • Competitive salary.
  • Opportunity to work with some of the industry's leading vibration experts based on our offices in the UK, North America and Asia-Pacific.
  • Opportunities to have a meaningful impact in technically challenging projects in Norway and Internationally.
  • Opportunities to collaborate amongst a wealth of technical and personal development resources.
  • Support throughout your career.
  • Opportunities for site visits in Norway and overseas.

Our employee benefits include:
  • Modern office facilities and a pleasant working environment
  • A broad and multidisciplinary professional environment.
  • Good pension and insurance schemes, including AFP, travel and health insurance
  • Indoor parking and charging stations for electric cars
