Together with your functional sponsor (initially the VP of Installation) and the PWR-T Executive Committee, you will help shape how Lean is lived and practiced across the organization. Your mission is to turn strategy into action — improving quality, predictability, and simplicity in how we work, every day.

The preferred location is Oslo, with some travel expected. You will report to the Senior Transformation Project Manager responsible for Lean implementation in Power Transmission.

GETTING A FLYING START 

You thrive in change environments and enjoy turning complexity into clarity. You’re comfortable working with senior leaders, engaging teams, and creating momentum around improvement initiatives.
