Sectors
What sectors and roles does Available AS specialize in?
Available AS focuses exclusively on the Norwegian energy market, including offshore oil and gas operations and the growing renewable energy sector. They place candidates in technical, engineering, and operational roles ranging from field technicians to specialized project managers. Their network is built around the specific regulatory and safety requirements inherent to Norwegian energy infrastructure.
Where you meet
How does the staffing process work for a candidate?
The process begins with a review of your CV against active project requirements in the energy sector. If your skills align, a consultant will conduct an initial screening to verify your certifications and availability. Once vetted, you are presented to clients for specific roles, followed by interview coordination and, if successful, contract onboarding.
What should I expect once I engage with the agency?
Expect a professional, project-driven communication cadence where contact is most frequent when a specific role matches your profile. The agency acts as the intermediary between you and the client, meaning they handle contract negotiations and payroll administration. There is no cost to the candidate for these services, as the hiring company pays the agency fee.
Your side
How can I get on the radar of Available AS?
To stand out, ensure your CV explicitly lists your relevant safety certifications, such as BOSIET or GWO, which are mandatory for many energy projects. Use keywords specific to your technical discipline and highlight your experience with Norwegian industry standards. Keep your profile updated with your current location and notice period to ensure you appear in their active search filters.
Is Available AS the right fit for my career search?
Available AS is an excellent partner if you have specialized technical skills or operational experience within the Norwegian energy sector. If you are looking for roles outside of energy or lack the required industry certifications, you may find better success with a generalist agency. They are best suited for professionals seeking project-based work or those looking to leverage deep industry connections.
How to work with Available AS: candidate playbook

- Include your current notice period and availability date in every application.
- Use industry-standard terminology for your technical skills to improve search visibility.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a Norwegian citizen to work through Available AS?
While citizenship is not always required, you must have the legal right to work in Norway. You should ensure your work permits and residency status are clearly documented in your application to avoid processing delays.
Should I apply directly to the client company if I see the same job posted?
If a role is listed through Available AS, it is usually best to apply through them to ensure your profile is properly tracked and represented. Applying through multiple channels for the same role can sometimes create administrative conflicts that slow down your candidacy.

How should I follow up if I haven't heard back after an interview?
Wait at least one week after your interview before sending a concise, professional email to your consultant. This allows time for the client to provide feedback while demonstrating your continued interest in the position.
