Careers at Northwest

Northwest is experiencing strong growth and we are actively seeking skilled employees who share our passion for solving complex engineering challenges and building advanced mechanical structures. Joining our team means embracing both the office environment and the workshop hall, where you should relish in both practical hands-on tasks and theoretical pursuits throughout your varied workday.

At Northwest, we are a close-knit engineering team where our work day is varied with many different tasks. With us you can have whole days working on models and calculations, and other days you’re out at client facilities. An engineer at Northwest also works on the practical, and is on-site during production to control, adapting solutions from drawing to reality, and also helping with the assembly of the machines and equipment you have designed.

We also have our own people who work with procurement, logistics and finance, who work closely with the engineering team to ensure that our projects are delivered as agreed. We have short turnarounds and quick decisions, and greatly appreciate that all employees show initiative and take responsibility for both projects and internal tasks.

Competency

We have an above average interest in machinery and structures. It’s in the backbone of the company that we work with the theoretical and the practical, and we are therefore committed to ensuring that all employees learn and develop in order to be able to solve any mechanical challenge we come across.

We do this by having specific development goals and plans for all employees, with coursework, certifications and mentors following up. We also have an internal competency program, where we share experience and expertise about the tools we use, challenges and solutions in projects, and facilitate learning across everything we do.

We are a young team who enjoy being at work and are committed to fostering a good community. We have regular social events, such as climbing and fishing trips, payday games, summer parties, and visits to clients and partners in both Norway and abroad.
