After starting his career as a car mechanic back in 2001, Øyvind felt it was time for a change. When he heard about Kystdesign, he thought the opportunity to move into the offshore industry sounded both exciting and challenging. When he joined, we had around 45 employees, so he’s already seen the team nearly double in size since then.
When Øyvind first started, he worked on our Zeerov ROVs and became part of the development process early on. It was a hands-on project where solutions often had to be figured out along the way, something he found both challenging and rewarding.
I was completely new to the offshore industry when I started, but that’s also what made it so exciting. We had to find solutions along the way, and being able to work closely with the engineers and contribute ideas has been a great experience.

Øyvind says what stands out most about working at Kystdesign is the collaboration across teams. Mechanics and engineers work closely together, and ideas for improvements are welcomed from everyone involved.
He also highlights the work environment as a big plus: bright, modern facilities, supportive colleagues, and a strong team spirit. For him, joining the company has been a decision he’s very happy with.
Outside of work, Øyvind enjoys family life with his son and wife, and there’s even more excitement ahead as they’re expecting another child soon. In his spare time he enjoys working on cars and motorcycles, and from time to time he takes part in running and cycling races.
We’re glad to have you on the team, Øyvind!
