We are hiring a Supply Chain Manager for our global team in Oslo!

We have conducted more node surveys than any of our competitors. Our proprietary solutions and multi-client business models are backed by more than 40 years’ experience — and that’s the difference that matters.

Echova combines technology, workflows and expertise into a collaborative environment for the project partners across all phases of the OBN project workflow. Echova brings value to our customers through faster data delivery and reduced total project costs and provides higher quality data that enables better decision making for our customers.    

JOB SUMMARY

The supply chain function within Magseis Fairfield provides exciting and dynamic opportunities to learn, develop, and implement meaningful contributions to the organization. The global supply chain team operates cohesively and serves as a steward of the company’s goals and finances by liaising with internal and external customers and operating in the best interest of Magseis Fairfield.
