Manager, HSSEQ & Transformation

Are you ready to help us create a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future?

At Aker Solutions we are changemakers with nearly 200 years of experience, committed to helping the energy industry #PowerTheChange towards a net-zero future.

We are driven by collaboration and curiosity, building tomorrow’s technological solutions today!

We’re looking for a Manager, HSSEQ & Transformation to join our team in Tranby. In this role, you will help drive the transformation agenda across Health, Safety, Security Environment, Quality (HSSEQ), and Project Execution to support our growth ambition in Power Solutions.

Power Solutions is a small but powerful segment with five business verticals, delivering both products and projects across diverse markets and execution models. To deliver on our growth ambition, we must continuously improve how we work, leveraging digitalization, AI, and smarter ways of working to increase effectiveness, strengthen performance, and enable scalable growth.

In this role, you will be a key driver of the transformation we need, turning improvement ambitions into real changes in how we execute, strengthening operational excellence, and helping embed digital and AI as core enablers of future performance.

This role goes beyond traditional HSSEQ and Continuous Improvement (HSSEQ & CI) leadership, requiring a genuine interest in contributing to change and improvement.

You will lead a team of five senior experts and join the Execution Excellence group within Power Solutions. This group owns the Segment Execution Governance and leads support functions across the five business verticals: Hydropower, Subsea Power & Controls, Benestad, Defense, and Additech.

What will you be doing?

• Drive the transformation agenda, identifying opportunities and working with teams to create value

• Contribute to the development of next-generation ways of working, embracing digitalization, standardization and smarter execution models

• Hold overall responsibility for HSSEQ & CI across the segment’s five business verticals

• Lead and develop a high-performing team of HSSEQ & CI professionals, ensuring strong capabilities aligned with our growth ambitions

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure alignment between operational execution, governance, and strategic priorities

• Stay informed about industry trends and continuously bring new thinking into how we manage safety, security, quality, and improvement

We think you should have:

• Relevant higher education in engineering, environmental science, or related fields. Relevant experience may be a substitute for formal education

• Motivation for HSSEQ & CI and experience from working in an industrial or manufacturing environment

• Solid leadership experience developing and executing transformation and improvement initiatives with measurable results

• A mindset focused on innovation, simplification, and new ways of working

• Ability to operate effectively across various stakeholder levels, business contexts, and execution models (e.g. projects, products, manufacturing, service)

• Strong business understanding, with the ability to translate HSSEQA & CI into value creation

• Professional communication skills in English and Norwegian. This role interacts with documents written in Norwegian
