Another oil giant at IT Fornebu

The underwater contractor Subsea 7 is in the process of establishing a regional office at IT Fornebu.

Key personnel are in place, and a press release states that the office will be staffed during the summer to carry out major projects. The search for bright minds is the reason for establishing at Fornebu.

– Subsea 7 is growing rapidly, and access to highly qualified personnel is the most critical element of success in order to deliver projects safely and effectively in an ever-growing market. In addition to expanding the staff at the Norwegian headquarter in Stavanger, we need access to a greater number of bright minds to meet the high need for resources in the market. This is why Oslo, with its strong marine technology cluster, is an ideal location for Subsea 7's expansion, as stated in the press release.
