Junior Consultant at RMA Nordics

Location: Trondheim, Norway Department: Consultant

Join DNV’s Safety Risk Nordics team and make an impact from day one. Whether your interests lie in quantitative risk analysis and advanced modelling or in human factors, working environment and emergency preparedness, you will contribute to meaningful customer projects, learn from experienced specialists and develop as a multidisciplinary risk professional.

We are looking for two junior consultants who want to build their careers in safety and risk management. You are not expected to have experience in every area. You may initially develop deeper expertise within one discipline, while multidisciplinary projects provide opportunities to broaden your experience across several areas over time.

Our section provides safety and risk advisory services across traditional energy markets such as oil and gas, as well as hydrogen and ammonia, carbon capture and CO2 transportation, battery technology and offshore wind. We combine quantitative, technical, operational and human perspectives to help our customers understand and manage risk.

The preferred work location is Trondheim, with Oslo as an alternative.

You are not expected to have experience in every area. We welcome candidates interested in either quantitative or qualitative risk disciplines.

What you'll do

Contribute to customer projects and support the development of commercial proposals, with guidance from experienced colleagues.

Contribute to the development of DNV's risk assessment services and support customers in understanding emerging risks and relevant regulatory requirements.

Contribute to emergency preparedness analyses, emergency response studies, and planning or evaluation of exercises.

Contribute to qualitative risk and HSE studies, including human factors, working environment assessments, technical safety reviews, HAZID, and other structured risk workshops.

Contribute to quantitative risk assessments, including QRA, and qualitative risk assessments as part of major accident risk management.

For candidates interested in the quantitative profile: apply consequence and CFD modelling tools to assess ventilation, gas dispersion, explosions, fires, and exhaust dispersion.

You will be involved in customer projects from the start, working alongside experienced colleagues and learning through practical assignments, collaboration and knowledge sharing. As your competence grows, you will gradually take on greater responsibility, build expertise within your chosen discipline and gain experience across a broader range of risk management services.

We believe the best way to learn is through real project work, supported by mentoring, teamwork and continuous development opportunities.

At DNV, you will join a diverse team of experienced specialists and early-career professionals who are passionate about safety and risk management. As part of a global company with more than 15,000 employees and a strong culture of competence development, you will have access to challenging national and international projects, flexible working arrangements, an attractive compensation package and excellent opportunities for long-term career growth.

Higher education (master’s or bachelor’s degree or equivalent) in a relevant discipline.
