WORKING AT CCL

What is your role at CCL and when did you join the company? 

I am the head of engineering in Norway. I have been working for CCL for almost 8 years. I joined the company in 2014 when CCL first established the Norwegian company.

What aspect of your work gives you the greatest satisfaction?

The part of my job which gives me the most satisfaction is to design projects to the customers’ satisfaction so that they see the benefits of post-tensioned solutions and encourage them to use post-tensioning in new projects and will hopefully consider CCL as a preferred supplier. I enjoy working on projects with my colleagues in Norway and also in collaboration with CCL Engineering MENA. We have a strong focus on delivering high-quality, bespoke solutions for the Norwegian market and have gained many regular customers who continue to come back to us for new projects which makes me very proud that we have created a good relationship with them.

What contribution has CCL made to your career development?

At CCL Norway we have worked hard to become Norway’s largest and preferred supplier of post-tensioning solutions. We have had to create a market that did not exist and worked hard to achieve our goals. We have had many successful projects and built up a good reputation in the industry. This has given me a lot of experience, helped me to build up a large network of contacts in the construction industry, and has helped me develop professionally.
