Bergen, Vestland, Norway COWI AS Full time

Do you want to work on some of Norway's most complex and significant transportation projects? Do you thrive in multidisciplinary teams, delivering high-quality engineering solutions? Are you driven by exploring new methods and ways of improving? Then, this is your chance, join our highly skilled team of railway experts.

Create sustainable solutions with a team of experts
COWI has a strong position in Norway within transportation and is experiencing high demand for the major development projects that are coming. To meet the growing demand for sustainable transportation, we are looking for a junior or senior overhead contact line engineer to join our team. We are around 70 employees within the different railway disciplines in Norway. Together with customers, partners and contractors, we are working on some of Norway's most significant transportation projects and are excited to contribute to projects like Fornebubanen, Bybanen Bergen and Hamar stasjon. We have many more projects in sight and have large and exciting tender processes underway.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  1. Design and plan overhead contact line systems, traction power supply and earthing in railway, metro and light rail projects.
  2. Collaborate in multidisciplinary teams and with customers to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.
  3. Prepare detailed engineering drawings, specifications, reports, calculations and models.
  4. Participate in project meetings and provide technical knowledge.
  5. Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards and regulations.
  6. Be a Discipline Lead in smaller or larger projects.

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 customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

On top of that, you will have:

  1. Master's or bachelor's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering.
  2. Alternatively, relevant trade certificate (fagbrev) and tertiary vocational education (teknisk fagskole), as well as minimum 3 years of relevant experience after completing the education.
  3. Extensive relevant experience may compensate for formal education.
  4. Preferably minimum 3 years of experience with overhead contact line system (kontaktledningsanlegg) and/or traction power supply (banestrømforsyning) from consulting, contracting or other relevant fields of business.
  5. Preferably experience with modelling in AutoCAD/Civil 3D.
  6. Good written and oral communication skills in both Norwegian and English.

COWI has customers and projects that may require security clearance at various levels. There may therefore be requirements for security clearance in some projects/positions.

A place to work and so much more
At COWI, we work together with our customers to shape a sustainable and liveable world. We do it by applying our knowledge and curiosity – and sometimes even our courage – to create the solutions the world needs today to enable a better tomorrow. That is why we say no to fossil-based projects and aspire to have 100% of our revenue come from activities that move our customers towards sustainability.
We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.

What we also offer:

  1. The opportunity to build up your skills with exciting projects.
  2. Good opportunities for personal development through a personal development plan, COWI Academy and the COWI Connect mentoring scheme.
  3. National and international collaboration across organizations and disciplines. We have approx. 70 different professional networks in COWI.
  4. An active company culture with social and athletic activities, "lønningstreff" and company cabins.
  5. Flexible working hours with a home office arrangement, five weeks' holiday and time off between Christmas and New Year.
  6. A separate community called "Young in COWI" for employees under the age of 34, where social trips and events are arranged.
  7. Finally, a good working environment. It is important for us to be generous and stand up for each other. Which is also reflected in our well-being and employee surveys.

Got more questions?
If you have any unanswered questions about the role or what we have to offer, please reach out to Head of Discipline Ingvill Urdal Rian, IURI@COWI.COM.

Get to know us even better at our website, www.cowi.com, where you can learn more about our projects, our strategy, what we want to achieve and what life is like at COWI.

Before you apply
All you need to include in your application is your CV – no photo or application letter. At an interview, you can tell us everything we need to know about why you're interested in joining COWI. As for the photo, we prefer to form our first impression in person rather than from a picture.

We are happy to receive your CV in Norwegian or English – whichever you prefer.

Diversity is fundamental to COWI, inclusion is key.
We are committed to creating a respectful and fair work environment where all employees have a sense of belonging and equitable opportunities to thrive and grow. We ensure that our leaders are role models for inclusive leadership by cultivating a culture where diverse perspectives and thoughts are seen as strengths. And we take diversity and inclusion into account in all relevant decisions and processes and when setting teams and fora. We do it because it is part of our values and because it is simply the right thing to do.
