Think energy. Think innovation. Think impact.
At Aker Solutions, we don’t just keep the lights on—we help transform how the world powers up. From early concept to end-of-life support, we manage energy assets with precision, purpose, and a strong push toward decarbonization. Whether it’s upgrading offshore facilities with electrification or preparing for offshore renewables, we’re in it for the long haul—and for the planet.
With 11,000+ employees across 20+ countries, we’re a big team with even bigger ideas. But we know our real power lies in our people. And that’s where you come in.


🎯 We’re looking for a Front End Mechanical Engineer who can:

• Tackle mechanical challenges hands-on and head-on
• Bring solid experience in static equipment and modification work
• Blend social skills with serious technical know-how
• Love supplier chats, collaborative problem-solving, and turning chaos into clarity

• Dive deep into equipment assessments and identify scope of work fast
• Communicate, collaborate, and coordinate across teams and suppliers
• Prepare budget inquiries and evaluate mechanical quotations like a pro
• Compile clear and structured study reports—your work will be read!

✅ What We Hope You Bring:

• MSc, BSc, Technical College, or comparable engineering background
• Experience with Front End studies in Norway’s oil & gas sector
• Cross-disciplinary mindset (mechanical brains, project savvy)
• Fluent in Norwegian and English (both written and spoken)
• You’re a hands-on, extroverted team player with sharp communication skills

🌍 We’re serious about inclusion. Diversity isn’t a buzzword here—it’s how we build better teams and better ideas. At NES Advantage and Aker Solutions, we welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. Come as you are and grow with us.
