Is this the perfect role for you, but you don’t meet every single requirement? Our culture of
innovation is built on valuing the right person for the role over a perfect alignment with a job
description. Not least because research tell us women and minorities are unlikely to apply if
they aren’t able to match all the role requirements listed. Building a diverse, inclusive, and
positive workplace is important to DOF, so we say, apply for the role – it’s the best way to find the right person for this or other roles - and that could be you.
Office locations are Marineholmen, Bergen and Storebø, Austevoll. This position will require
presence at both locations. This is an onshore position.
