Every year, Universum uncovers Norway's most attractive employers with a survey aimed at students in Norway. This year's survey shows, among other things, that Norconsult is one of the most popular employers at the educational institutions NTNU Trondheim, Gjøvik and Ålesund, as well as NMBU and OsloMet.
Norconsult is ranked as the industry's most attractive employer in the category "Engineering Consulting".
"Every year, we recruit several hundred new employees to Norconsult, many of which have recently graduated, so it is very gratifying that we have such a strong position among the students. The results of the survey are a good confirmation that the way we work with innovative technology and sustainability in our projects, combined with our great work environment, seems to be attractive to the students," says CEO Egil Hogna.
"As we have a desire to constantly improve gender balance in the company, it is also particularly gratifying that this year we are ranked as the country's second most attractive employer among female engineering students," Hogna adds.
2,500 engineering students
In the survey, in which around 2,500 engineering students have participated, attractiveness is measured based on the question "Who is your ideal employer?". Here, Norconsult is ranked number four across all industries, thus maintaining its position on the list only beaten by Equinor, Aker Solutions and Kongsberg Gruppen. At the same time, female engineering students rank Norconsult in second place overall, which is a jump up from last year where they ranked the company as number five.
"We are very proud of this ranking. The fact that we achieve this from year to year shows that what we do hits home, and that the students notice us. The results of the survey are thanks to all Norconsult employees who show commitment and ensure that we are able to reach out to this group of potential employees," says Executive Vice President Communications and Brand, Hege Njå Bjørkmann.
