Defence Jobs in Norway

Roughly a quarter of the Norwegian companies we track build naval and underwater systems, with drones, tactical communications and sensors making up most of the rest. Companies hiring include Ubiq Aerospace (drone de-icing systems, Trondheim), Radionor Communications (tactical data links, Horten) and VAKE (satellite-based maritime surveillance, Oslo). Established players Kongsberg and Nammo anchor the wider industry and draw engineering talent into the sector.

English is widely used as a working language in Norwegian engineering teams. Norway is not an EU member but participates in the EEA, so EU and EEA citizens can work without a permit. Non-EEA nationals typically need an employer-sponsored residence permit for skilled workers.
