Do you want to work with exciting technological solutions and contribute to the green transition?

Become Statnett's new Technical Manager Platform Design! 

Statnett works with the most important infrastructure in Norway and plays a central role in transforming the energy sector into a low-emission future. The large-scale development of offshore wind is considered to be an enabler for achieving Europe's climate goals.
