DNO has entered a new phase. Following the acquisition of Sval Energi, we have become one of Norway's largest independent oil and gas companies, with interests in around 30 producing fields, multiple development projects and an ambitious growth agenda on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Growth creates opportunity.
We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager to help lead the operational performance of our offshore portfolio—ensuring safe, reliable and efficient production while helping shape how operations evolve in a company where decisions are made by the people closest to the business.
If you enjoy combining technical authority with leadership, and want your experience to influence both daily operations and long-term strategy, we'd like to hear from you.
A role at the centre of our operations
Reporting to the VP Production, you will take ownership of operational performance across DNO's operated subsea assets while supporting our wider Norwegian portfolio.

Internally, you'll collaborate closely with colleagues in Production, Engineering, Projects, Asset Management and Subsurface.
Externally, you'll represent DNO towards host operators, licence partners, regulators and service providers, building strong relationships that support safe and efficient operations.
This is a role where your judgement matters. Where technical credibility creates influence. And where experience is trusted.

Lead day-to-day operations for DNO's operated subsea production systems
Ensure safe, reliable and efficient production through strong operational leadership
Oversee subsea integrity management, maintenance strategies and fitness-for-service assessments

Represent DNO in technical discussions with partners, regulators and industry stakeholders
Who we're looking for
You have spent much of your career building technical expertise and operational judgement.
You understand what it takes to safely operate offshore production assets, and you're comfortable making decisions where safety, reliability and commercial performance all matter.
Ideally, you bring:
A Master's degree in Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
Around 20 years' experience within offshore oil and gas operations
