As a Test Engineer, you will be part of our seven-person QC/Test team supporting the inspection, testing and quality assurance of equipment at our repair facility in Søgne and at supplier locations.
This is a practical, technically focused role combining mechanical and hydraulic knowledge with inspection, testing, documentation and stakeholder interaction. You will work both independently and as part of an experienced multidisciplinary team, collaborating with customers, suppliers and third parties such as classification societies.
Your development will be primarily hands-on. You will build knowledge of NOV equipment, procedures and applicable standards by working alongside experienced colleagues and participating in equipment overhaul and testing activities. Our aim is for you to develop toward independently acting as a Test Lead for equipment you have been trained on, taking responsibility for conducting tests with customers and third parties.
The team offers broad technical exposure across quality, mechanical and hydraulic systems, electrical systems, PLC/software and engineering. Previous team members have developed further into areas including technical engineering, hydraulics, PLC/software and project engineering.
