• Experience with tender processes, bid management, and commercial follow-up
• Ability to engage in technical discussions (process understanding, P&IDs, operating conditions)
• Fluency in Norwegian is required, along with good English skills, both written and spoken

Who are you?

You are motivated by achieving results and enjoy working closely with customers over time. You build trust through strong communication skills and a professional approach, while also working in a structured and independent way.

To succeed in this role, you are:
• Commercially driven and results-oriented
