Office location

Bergen 

What do you do at Field? 

I’ve been hired out to a construction company since 2019, and the value of the road contract I’m working on is about 300 million NOK. As a surveyor I am responsible for the production surveys for road and constructions, machine management, producing the required documentation, quality control of models and establishment/maintenance of the projects benchmark network. My work is varied, and at the moment I am busy with documentation related to the finalization of the project.   

How would you describe the culture at Field? 

If I could use just one word to describe the company, it would be ‘forward-leaning’. We’re always looking for ways to do things better and more efficiently.

Which of our 4 values (‘Caring, Curious, Credible, Competent’) is closest to your heart, and why? 

Competent, because it’s really our competence that brings in the revenue. Without it, we would be a mediocre organisation, and that’s neither attractive to our customers nor the people who work here.
