Project Manager – Product & Technology Development
Are you ready to lead technology projects that make ocean data matter? Join Nortek and make an impact
About Nortek and the Role
At Nortek, we turn ocean data into insight that matters. We develop and build world-leading instruments that help uncover how our oceans impact climate, food, energy, health, and industry. Our technology is used, among other things, for coral reef studies, navigation of underwater vehicles, current measurement and quality assurance in aquaculture.
As global interest in the ocean grows, so do we. We are now looking for a proactive and pragmatic Project Manager to join our Product and Technology Development Team at Rud, Bærum.
This newly established role offers a unique opportunity to shape how projects are managed across the organisation. You will work with cross-functional teams of highly competent colleagues and lead projects ranging from product sustainment to new product development and technology innovation. You are responsible for ensuring that projects are delivered with clarity, control, and purpose and on time.
What will you do?
- Establish, implement and improve effective routines, tools, and processes
- Lead and manage projects of varying size and complexity within product and technology development.
- Plan, organise, and drive project execution while balancing control and flexibility
- Identify and resolve gaps in project organisation, communication and alignment
- Communicate project status, risks, and challenges to stakeholders
- Foster accountability across teams and ensure progress towards shared goals
- Mentor engineers and colleagues who take on project management responsibilities
What qualifications are we looking for?
We are primarily looking for a candidate who has a relevant Master's or Bachelor's degree in engineering accustomed to working vertically in organisations. Experience in project management within engineering, product development, or technology environments is also required.
To succeed in the position, you should demonstrate the following personal qualities:
- A “can-do” attitude and committed to finding good solutions
- A structured yet flexible mindset - you value control but know when to allow iteration.
- Results-oriented, self-motivated and responsible
- A digital tool-builder who values progress over excessive documentation.
- Collaborative and trust-building, with a genuine desire to share knowledge and guide stakeholders
- Strong communication skills in both English and Norwegian, written and spoken.
What can we offer?
- A global Norwegian-owned company with an informal tone and short decision paths
- A line manager committed to your success with us who ensures that you receive good onboarding from the start
- A diverse, international workplace with colleagues of all ages from many countries
- Continuous opportunities for learning and development
- A healthy work-life balance
- An active social committee, arranging events on a regular basis
- Great perks: canteen, charging parking, bike garage, home office, company cabins (Norefjell and Collioure in France)
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- High job satisfaction and low turnover—we think you’ll like it here!

We review applications on a rolling basis, but encourage submission before November 2nd, 2025. For any questions, please contact recruiting manager Christopher Grinde at christopher.grinde@nortekgroup.com, or 91137588.

About Nortek Group
Nortek designs, develops and produces scientific instruments that apply the Doppler principle to underwater acoustics in order to measure water in motion, such as currents and waves.
We provide truly innovative, robust, and accurate instruments, backed up by advanced software and comprehensive support to ensure customers maximize value from their measurements.
Our solutions make a big difference.
These instruments are used by scientists, researchers and engineers at renowned institutions and government agencies worldwide. They are deployed in demanding environments that require state-of-the-art instrumentation that is reliable and easy to use.
Our exploratory devices help cast light on the workings of the world’s oceans, which occupy vast swathes of the planet, but are still little understood.
Most of Nortek’s technology is based on a scientific physical principle called the Doppler effect. This relates to the change in frequency (or pitch) when a sound source moves with respect to an observer.
By measuring these changes in frequency/phase, our instruments accurately measure profiles of speed and direction of complex water motion.
Nortek’s product portfolio ranges from wave measurement systems to single-point turbulence sensors and oceanic current profilers. Our product range covers four themes: ocean waves, ocean currents, turbulent flow and subsea navigation.
Our objective is to excite users with useful, innovative technology underpinned by oceanographic science and research. We work systematically with quality and are certified by leading quality assurance organizations.
