CHRO - NORVA24 Norge

NORVA24 is the market leader in operation, maintenance and services related to critical infrastructure below ground. Every day our employees ensure that communities, businesses and public services function as they should.

Over many years we have grown through acquisitions and today consist of 11 companies in Norway with strong local teams, high professional expertise and proud employees. Now we are going to take the next step.

We are looking for a CHRO who wants to help develop the organisation, professionalise the HR work and build a common structure across the business.

Focus on building structure, developing leaders and creating a modern HR function that contributes directly to the business's results is central to this role.

As our CHRO you will be a central partner for the CEO Norway and part of the company's leadership group.

You will have a key role in establishing more uniform ways of working, strengthening leadership support and ensuring that NORVA24 continues to develop as an attractive and professional employer.

In the first years the role will be both strategic and operational. You must enjoy being out in the business, supporting managers in day-to-day work and helping to ensure that changes are actually implemented in practice.

Among other things, you will be responsible for:

• developing and professionalising the HR function in Norway

• ensuring compliance with the Working Environment Act and developing working time and employer practices

• supporting managers in complex personnel and employment law issues

• driving organisational development, culture building and change management

• establishing and implementing common HR processes across the companies

• developing leadership support and laying the foundation for future leadership development

• contributing to the integration of new companies through further growth and acquisitions

• developing an HR model that can in time form the basis for further rollout in other countries

We believe you have experience from a senior HR leadership role and have helped build, develop or professionalise HR functions in businesses with many employees, several locations or complex organisational structures.

You probably have experience with:

• HR leadership at both strategic and operational level

• organisational development and change management

• employment law, the Working Environment Act and employer responsibilities

• leadership support and handling demanding personnel cases

• establishing and implementing HR processes

• labour-intensive businesses within service, contracting, construction, industry, logistics or similar operational environments

To succeed in the role we believe you are:

• down-to-earth and informal in your way of working

• calm and robust when facing change and resistance

• analytical without becoming theoretical

• clear and solution-oriented

• good at creating trust and anchoring

• focused on collaboration and teamwork

You must like being close to the business and enjoy getting things done through people and managers.

At NORVA24 you will get:

• a central leadership role with significant influence

• direct collaboration with the CEO and the leadership group

• the opportunity to build and shape the HR function further

• great freedom and a significant mandate

• a business with strong local teams, high professional expertise and clear growth ambitions

• the opportunity to influence the development of HR practice also outside Norway in time

This is a role for you who want to leave your mark.

Not through plans and PowerPoint presentations alone, but through concrete improvements that make everyday life easier for managers and employees and strengthen NORVA24 for the future.

Why NORVA24?

Norva24 is a newly established company consisting of a number of local companies that have merged across countries and regions. The local units remain as before, so that we preserve local belonging and all the positives this entails.

Local knowledge is one of the most important things we bring into the new Norva24 group. The merger has at the same time given us a strength that spans countries and regions, which among other things means we can offer our customers even more services than before.

Local knowledge and national strength - to the benefit of our customers. With us you get the opportunity to influence the development of a business with strong local traditions, high professional expertise and clear growth ambitions. You become part of an organisation where decision-making routes are short, the pace is high and the opportunity to make a difference is great.
