Your role and responsibilities

Marine and Ports is driving the transition towards a sustainable future. To successfully be the partner our customers choose to work with, we need to ensure sustainability both in our solutions and in our organization from a business perspective. Our customers increasingly seek solutions that provide greater efficiency, safety and reliability and prepare vessels for operations of today and tomorrow. This makes the transition even more exciting, as this also drives us to constantly challenge our technology, solutions, and the way we operate. ABB Marine & Ports Norway is expanding its team with more Service Engineers. This is an exciting opportunity to work with ABB’s Electrical systems on ships worldwide! Your workplace will be onboard modern ships or rigs where your work tasks would be service, modernization or commissioning of ABB delivered electrical systems. Your responsibilities will include troubleshooting, integrating solutions for both existing and new systems, and carrying out scheduled maintenance. ABB delivers a wide range of products for the marine industry, such as frequency converters, automation systems, power management systems, propulsion systems and power distribution systems such as high voltage AC switchboards and DC grid switchboards. Whether you already have experience or are eager to develop expertise in these areas, we want to hear from you. You must be motivated for travelling! One week, you might be working in Norway; the next, you could be in the Far East or the Americas. Travels could be everything from one day to several weeks, but together we try to make a work schedule which would fit both the employee and the customers.

Qualifications for the role

• University or Technical College.
• Must be fluent in both written and verbal English.
• Experience within electrical power and/or automation systems onboard ships or rigs is an advantage but not an absolute requirement.

• Good understanding of marine systems.
• Your attitude is as important for us as your track record. Fluent English is a demand as well as cultural awareness and mutual respect - we have an international workplace and business where we have colleagues and customers with diverse backgrounds and nationalities.
