Vacant job

At Kongsberg, we believe that we can achieve world-class solutions through dedicated people and continuous improvement of our technology. We have a commitment to Sustainable Development Goals and for us, the oceans and marine resources are important. We therefore strive to develop products with reduced emissions and damage to life below water. We believe in a workplace characterized by diversity and together we can create a work environment that brings out the best in everyone. We are very positive that you want to contribute to our development, and that you want to grow within Kongsberg.

An exciting challenge has arisen as we are looking for two Project Managers who can lead our marine aftermarket projects to deliver propulsion products, including control systems, to vessels globally. If you thrive with responsibility and enjoy running projects from start to finish, we can offer you a great opportunity to work in a developing role in an interesting and varied work environment with international collaboration.

At Kongsberg Maritime in Kristinehamn, we are experts in delivering high-end propulsion solutions for the maritime sector. To deliver top-class service alongside our world-class products, we need sharp aftermarket Project Managers who can provide the customer with a solid and confident experience throughout the entire product life cycle. You will become a member of a team focusing especially on customer-specific commitments, and here, the level of ambition is high when it comes to customer experience.

Since we’re looking for two Project Managers, the orientation for these roles will vary. The focus for both positions is to plan, lead, and follow up on different customer projects to ensure delivery according to expectations at the right time, the right cost, and with the right quality. One of these roles will focus on coordinating projects mainly remotely from our office, while the other role will involve more travel to various shipyards around the world. In this role, the destinations can be almost anywhere in the world and normally occur around four times a year. At the shipyard, you will operate as the natural team leader for the installation and overhaul project and serve as the customer's point of contact.

What we can offer

Value-creating and challenging roles where you are right at the center of driving our projects from start to finish, and where no days are the same. You will get a good mix of business management, technology, and networking with customers and colleagues in a global arena. As an employee at Kongsberg, you will be part of a global company that delivers world-class marine products and works in close collaboration within a highly competent organization. We can offer flexible working hours and the option to work partly remotely based on your work tasks.

Qualifications and experience

To best fulfill our needs and make this a perfect fit, you should have a technical or financial background, preferably with project management experience. A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant field is preferred. A high level of English, both written and verbal, is important, and communication skills in other languages are considered an advantage.

As a Project Manager, you will need to understand our products on a higher technical level; therefore, it is an advantage if you have a basic technical understanding. However, the focus for this role is to have the right personal skills to coordinate and lead our projects and the ability to quickly learn and adapt to the various needs of our customers.

We are looking for someone with the ability to drive processes from start to finish and act on their own initiative. Flexibility is key to handle changes along the way, and the ability to see obstacles as challenges will be vital to thrive as a Project Manager. An open mind with a focus on what the customer needs is important, but also to ensure that the budget and scope fulfill the agreed contract. For us, networking and clear communication are important; therefore, your ability to build relationships, create a stable work atmosphere, and coordinate the project team is fundamental to succeed.
