Originally trained as an automation technician, Ole Kristian spent around 15 years working offshore before deciding it was time to try something new. When the opportunity at Kystdesign appeared, it immediately caught his interest.
Since joining us, he’s experienced a busy environment. For him, the fast pace is part of what makes the job interesting, as it provides plenty of opportunities to learn and develop.
It’s been a steep learning curve since I started, but that’s also what makes it interesting. When things move fast, you learn a lot
Ole Kristian Vikra Hemnes, Electronics Technician
In his role, Ole Kristian typically works with our TMS cabinets and transformers. He was also involved in the Zeerov project and works with cabling and connecting our ROV systems, preparing them for FAT testing before delivery.
What has stood out most to him since joining is the workplace itself. He describes Kystdesign as a company that takes good care of its people, with clear systems and routines that make everyday work run smoothly.
When Ole Kristian started, we had around 40 employees, and he has already seen the team grow significantly. With many new colleagues and a brand-new building under construction, he finds it exciting to be part of our company’s development.
Outside of work, he enjoys life on a small farm and has a long-standing passion for archery. He has been practicing the sport since the mid-90s and has even won several team medals over the years.
Great to have you on the team, Ole Kristian!
