Process Engineer / Field Engineer Water AS

 

Location: Western Norway (with travel along the Norwegian coast) 

Type: Permanent position

​

About Water AS

 

Water AS develops and delivers water treatment solutions for the aquaculture industry — delivered as modular systems to wellboats, processing plants, and fish farming facilities. Aquaculture is one of Norway's most important industries, and it's in the middle of a green transition. Demands for water treatment and discharge control are increasing rapidly, and the solutions needed don't exist off the shelf. That's where we come in. We're building the technology that enables the industry to keep growing — on nature's terms.

 

The Role

 

You'll be our person in the field. That means you install, operate, troubleshoot, and optimise water treatment systems at customer sites — often on board wellboats or at processing facilities along the coast. You'll work closely with our CTO and technical co-founder on development, but you need to stand on your own two feet when you're out with customers. When something isn't working, you find the solution. You own the problem until it's solved — whether that means troubleshooting a process on a wellboat, calling a supplier, or coming up with a fix no one's thought of before.

 

Why This Role

 

The aquaculture industry generates over NOK 100 billion annually and is growing fast — but faces challenges in environmental impact, discharge, and sustainability that must be solved for that growth to continue. We're early movers with technology that addresses this head-on. Join now, and you'll help shape a company that could have a major impact on how the industry manages water in the years ahead. This is a chance to combine hands-on engineering with real impact in an industry that needs it.

Responsibilities

• Installation, commissioning, and follow-up of water treatment modules

• Troubleshooting and optimising processes in the field

• Collecting process data, water samples, and operating parameters

• Documenting pilots, test runs, and customer follow-up

• Contributing to further development of process design based on field experience

• Customer contact — explaining what we do, why it works, and what the results mean

• HSE responsibility in your own work, in line with maritime requirements

• Working on board wellboats as needed

 

Requirements

​

• Relevant degree in process technology, chemistry, aquaculture, marine engineering, or equivalent

• Practical experience with water treatment, process engineering, or industrial systems

• Basic understanding of water chemistry

• Ability and willingness to work on board wellboats — this is not a desk job

• Willingness to travel — assignments along the entire coast

• Valid driver's licence (class B)

• Good written and spoken Norwegian

 

Highly Desirable

​

• Experience from the maritime sector, aquaculture, or offshore industry

• Familiarity with PLC/automation and process control

• Understanding of discharge regulations and environmental documentation in aquaculture

• Basic maritime HSE certification (or willingness to obtain it)

• Analytical — you like looking at data and figuring out what actually happened

​

We Offer

​

• A role with real influence — your field experience shapes our products

• The opportunity to help build a company in an industry with enormous potential

• Short distance from idea to action

• A professional environment that takes water treatment seriously

• Competitive salary

• Opportunity for equity in the company

​

Personal Qualities

​

• You own the problem — from the moment you spot it until it's solved

• Practical and decisive — you fix things with what's available

• Systematic enough to document what you do

• Confident in customer interactions — able to explain technical content in an accessible way

• Equally comfortable with a wrench and a spreadsheet

• Independent, but know when to involve others

• Motivated by building something that matters
