Meet Eva Marie Maast
Securing stable and future-proof energy supply is a complex task, but also more important now than ever before. Our energy consumption is increasing, and at the same time, we are transitioning to more sustainable energy sources.
Currently, I’m deeply involved in our project in Longyearbyen in the Svalbard archipelago, working to secure the energy supply and infrastructure for one of the world’s most remote communities. Longyearbyen is situated in the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 kilometres north of Norway’s northern coast. It is a place with extreme weather conditions and, thus, a highly challenging environment for its more than 2,500 permanent residents.
Working on a project like this means a high level of complexity and involving almost every discipline. Due to the demanding environmental conditions and remoteness, I’m collaborating closely with colleagues across COWI, gaining new perspectives and contributing to solutions that are breaking new ground in the different areas.
Check out our open positions in Norway. We are looking for engineers and specialists in different disciplines and different regions.
“At COWI, you can always find the knowledge you need – sometimes it’s right next to you, sometimes on another floor and other times in another office. No matter what, it’s always within reach.”
Eva Marie Maast
Senior Structural Specialist
As a mechanical engineer, I have worked with large-scale structures throughout my career. When I joined COWI, I primarily worked with offshore wind and steel substructures for wind turbines. Projects characterised by high complexity and constant technical development. Lately, I have been involved in large Norwegian projects in general as an interface coordinator or assistant project manager.
That’s one of the advantages of being in a big company – new doors open, and you get to apply your skills and experience in different areas. This enables me to expand my role, take on new challenges and continuously develop as a professional.
“I really value our inclusive and international culture. When we work together in English, collaboration becomes easier, it creates a strong sense of equality, and it helps us come up with better solutions.”
Join Eva and become part of COWI in Norway
Longyearbyen is no longer home to miners and whalers, but a place for scientific research and advanced development. In Norway, we have the ambition to attract families to the island to make sure the area maintains this status. To do so, we have to make sure Svalbard has modern facilities, not least an energy supply and infrastructure that always works.
To design solutions that work in an Arctic desert is technically exciting and demanding, and I get to use my technical expertise to support a project of national importance. I do this as part of a team where we collaborate across disciplines, countries and cultures, and where the help you need is always just a call away.
