Norwegian Group AS

Gjennom et unikt samarbeid med Nav og Energy Innovation - NORWAY har Norwegian Group AS åpnet dørene for tre talentfulle mennesker som skal utdannes til vindteknikere 👩🏼🔧 Dette er ikke bare starten på en ny karriere for dem – det er et løft for hele bransjen og et viktig steg mot en mer mangfoldig arbeidsplass. Charlotte Yri er snart AAK Energys første kvinnelige vindtekniker 👏🏼 Hun har skrevet artikkel til havvind.no om samarbeidet og viktigheten av mangfold i bransjen. Les via lenke i kommentarfeltet!

Det er veldig fint å jobbe i Norwegian Group AS hvor vi får bruke arbeidstid til å knytte bånd på både pakker og kultur 💚 I går fikk jeg og tre kolleger være assistenter for den frivillige organisasjonen Juleglede Volda/Ørsta. Sammen pakket vi julemat og gaver for å bidra til at flere familier får en god julefeiring 🎄I tillegg til å hjelpe til med pakkingen, donerer vi 10 000 kr til det viktige arbeidet Juleglede gjør i vårt nærmiljø 🌟 Stemningen var en god blanding av takknemlighet, ettertanke og litt latter, siden et par av oss ble selvbevisste på hvor elendige vi var å pakke inn julegaver. Men vi gjorde vårt beste og med godt samarbeid ble resultatet bra 🎅🏻 Å få gjøre noe utenom de vanlige arbeidsoppgavene var nok meningsfylt for oss alle 4 som normalt sett har en hektisk hverdag med både jobb og familie 🤹♂️ Det minnet meg også på hvor viktig det er å skape felles minner og bygge en sterk kultur: For jeg mener kultur spiser kompetanse til julefrokost 🎁✨ Håper du får en fin førjulstid 💚 #NorwegianGroup #Juleglede #Lokalsamfunn #Itsanogthing

There’s something special about visiting a project deep in the Finnish forests – the silence, the power of nature, and the satisfaction of working on something meaningful🇫🇮🇫🇮 Our skilled team has been supporting the customer with a wide range of tasks, including: - Annual service - HV service - Troubleshooting - Component replacements - Electrical retrofits …and much more! At the heart of everything we do is a strong focus on health, safety, and the environment. Whether we’re working at height, handling complex systems, or operating in challenging conditions, safety always comes first. This project is a great example of how we at Norwegian Group AS combine technical expertise with a commitment to safe and efficient operations. I’m proud of the team’s hard work and look forward to continuing our collaboration with the customer. #renewable #energy #GWO Pontus Bengtsson - Charlotte Yri - kay Ove Johansen - Elise Mulelid - Sigrunn Monsen - Lodve Tveiten

A couple of very interesting weeks are ending as I am heading back from Brussels attending and heldig speeches at WindEurope Skills & Education WG, as well as in the #EUParliament as part of the T-shore Centres of Vocational Excellence Erasmus+ project. In both cases I focused on need of skilled workforce for the wind industry and the educational program Energy Innovation - NORWAY started last week with 19 NEETs (not in employment, education or training) in close collaboration with NAV Rogaland (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration - headed by Jonas Husabø) and with Regional CoVE Norway industrial collaborators (= ESG heroes!) securing these candidates a permanent jobb in the industry as long as they fulfill one of the 2 - 3 months program. The three programs all consist of the following Global Wind Organisation modules: Basic Safety Training, Basic technical training, Advanced Rescue, Enhanced First Aid, Slinger Signaller and Crane & Hoist, as well as a chester step test and safety for electrical work (FSE). Then one group are trained as wind technicians (with turbine specific modules in mechanics, hydraulics and electronics), one group with GWO Blade repair and SOFT Rope Access, and the third group in GWO Blade Repair and NDT Visual testing 1 + 2, and NDT Radiation protection level 1, alle conducted in our training and education centre in Egersund. I was also able to present the newly launched report VindKOMP: What Competence and capacity are required to realize Norway's ambition for offshore wind, launched by HavvindNO – Nasjonalt kompetansesenter for havvind (Norwegian Competence Centre for Offshore wind) => https://lnkd.in/daXYdDa8 (English version now available to download). This should be a very interesting report for the supply chain, wind farm developers, VET providers as well ad Governance cross Europe as well as globally.

Another varied and exciting week in Norwegian Group AS has come to an end. This week, two of our offshore wind turbine technicians, together with a technician from Siemens Gamesa carried out maintenance on the TetraSpar wind turbine🔧 The TetraSpar Demonstration Project is the world’s first full-scale demonstration of an industrialized floating offshore wind turbine foundation. The project represents a major step forward in offshore wind technology and serves as a valuable learning platform for all involved parties. This foundation is designed to simplify production, transport, and installation, potentially reducing costs and increasing efficiency for future projects. Next week, we will continue on several exciting projects, both in Norway and abroad. Have a nice weekend!👏 #Renewable #TetraSpar #OffshoreWind #GWO Pontus Bengtsson Charlotte Yri Elise Mulelid kay Ove Johansen Sigrunn Monsen Lodve Tveiten

Little by little, the new Sotra Bridge is rising in Knarrevik 🌉 Construction on one of Norway’s largest infrastructure projects began in spring 2023 and is expected to be completed by mid-2027. This monumental bridge will span 901 meters across the fjord and stand 145 meters tall. Such an ambitious structure demands meticulous planning and high safety standards, particularly for work carried out at extreme heights — and that’s where our team comes in. In the photo, we see Gunnar and Mikal, members of our skilled climbing team, performing various lifting and mechanical operations on the bridge towers. Commissioned by Sotra Link, we’ve developed a methodology to support future inspection and maintenance tasks using rope access techniques. This approach ensures that both current and future work can be done safely and efficiently, safeguarding the long-term integrity of this remarkable project. #SotraBridge #Infrastructure #SafetyFirst #RopeAccess #Teamwork #Innovation #ConstructionProjects #Norway #NorwegianGroup #Itsanogthing

Da er vi i Norwegian Group AS klare for The Swedish Wind Energy Association (SWEA) arrangement Vind 2024 i Stockholm, hvor vi skal utforske og lære mer om nabolandets innsikt, planer og erfaringer med vindkraft så langt. Det blir en fin mulighet til å også utveksle våre egne erfaringer fra både onshore- og offshore-prosjekter, og jeg gleder meg til å diskutere hvordan vi kan bidra til videre utvikling av denne viktige industrien. Det er også litt spesielt for meg personlig å være tilbake i moderlandet – i år er det nemlig 30 år siden jeg flyttet fra vakre Stockholm til Norge. Denne gangen har jeg med meg min dyktige prosjektleder Pontus Bengtsson og vi ser frem til to innholdsrike dager fylt med ny innsikt og, ikke minst, nye bekjentskaper. Vi ses i Stockholm! 🌍💨 Simen Kavli Roksvåg Elise Mulelid Sigrunn Monsen Lodve Tveiten @kay ovE jOhansen Eivind Skartveit Morten Borøchstein Mari Strøm Larsen Haakon Sørvik Kristine Ertesvåg #Vind2024 #FornybarEnergi #Vindkraft #Stockholm #Onshore #Offshore #NyeMuligheter #stoltleverandør #itsanogthing #ropeaccess #GWO #renewables #bladerepair #service #windpower

Our multidisciplinary rope access team contributed to an efficient turnaround 💚 We recently completed work for Equinor on the Gina Krog platform during this fall’s maintenance shutdown. Our team consisted of three skilled professionals: a fall protection equipment specialist, an electrician (Gr. L), and a mechanic. The task involved conducting the annual inspection of fall protection systems and replacing equipment. Additionally, we set up a rescue and evacuation system for personnel, as well as a lifting system for materials 💪🏼 A big thank you to the team for their solid work, ensuring a safe and efficient execution! 🙌🏼 Special thanks to Maksymilian for the insight and pictures that give us a glimpse into life at heights 📸 #GinaKrog #Equinor #Turnaround #RopeAccess #FallProtection #Offshore #NorwegianGroup #Itsanogthing

Before the weekend kicks in, we want to take a moment to thank our amazing colleagues, new partners, and all the insightful conversations that OTD Energy 2024 made for us 💚 We had the pleasure of connecting with both existing and new customers and partners, laying the groundwork for exciting future projects and opportunities Jergo Norge who is all about finding solutions, Aker Solutions and Vår Energi who we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with and working for extensively, teamed up in Bergen to showcase their synergies. AAK Safety AS, experts in safety and training for both our operators and others, and HAKI Group, a skilled proivder in scaffolding and more. With Head Energy AS we discussed experiences and knowledge gained from the work we’ve done together, as well as how we can continue improving as partners moving forward. It was inspiring to discuss what we can achieve together. Events like OTD are vital for strengthening relationships and expanding our network, and those of us who attended at Sotra Arena we believe are leaving with a stronger sense of community and culture – thanks to everything that happened during the day, and definitely during the fun Oktoberfest in the evening 🙌 Looking forward both for the weekend, and the future 🚀 Have a good one! #OTD2024 #Networking #Collaboration #Partnerships #EnergyIndustry #Innovation #Sustainability #Teamwork #FutureProjects #NorwegianGroup #Community #itsanogthing
