Today, we are Europe’s largest renewable energy producer and employ more than 6.000 colleagues in 20+ countries around the world. Our vision is clear - to renew the way the world is powered. But there is more work to be done and that is why we need you to help us. 

Do you want to be part of an exciting strategic transformation initiative? Do you want to work with senior management and stakeholders to help transform how teams work together across Statkraft?

The Statkraft Way (TSW) is Statkraft’s management system. We are undertaking a global project to transform our management system to ensure that our critical business and support processes operate efficiently and help us deliver on the strategy. In October we will enter into the implementation phase – considered a key priority for the company for 2024.

This is the team for you if you enjoy working on fast-paced projects, love being part of high performing teams, and feel inspired to solve cross-functional challenges. When working on the TSW Transformation project, you will work with and learn from senior stakeholders across the business and get essential insight into Statkraft’s business areas. Join us to create a better management system and help Statkraft work better together as we grow!

This role will be part of the Corporate Governance Team. The Governance Team drives continuous improvement of Statkraft’s management system, The Statkraft Way. To deliver on our growth strategy and help to develop more renewable energy, we need a fit-for-purpose management system, and you will help ensure that it reflects agreed and internal know-how, promotes efficiency, and ensures responsible business practices.

• Provide additional production capacity for workstream leads on priority areas
• Day to day project management support for the Project Lead and PMO
