Your skills. Our team. Together, we design the future.
The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners, or clients. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. 

Your experience may include some of the following areas: 

• Security advisory work and client-side security requirements. 
• Knowledge of the Norwegian Security Act and associated regulations. 
• Familiarity with the Power Supply Preparedness Regulations.
