We are now strengthening our Food & Beverage business with Lead Auditors for the Aquaculture industry, and are looking for professionals who want to make a difference to this exciting and innovative industry.

As a Lead Auditor, you will be responsible to support our aquaculture customers with your professional expertise and DNV GL’s methodology and approach within quality, traceability, sustainable products and process optimization. You will act as an independent third party through audits, verifications and inspections in accordance with needs and requirements in the industry. You will influence development of the aquaculture industry through management certification, assessment services and potentially also through training.

Being an Auditor for the Aquaculture industry in DNV GL will give you the opportunity to work with a very varied customer portfolio, both in terms of size and organizational set-up. You will work autonomously and in a customer-oriented way, but will always enjoy the benefits of a strong and supportive professional environment of colleagues.

You will get to know the Norwegian Aquaculture industry well, with all its opportunities and challenges, and gain insight into innovation processes and the latest technology developments. You will develop a large and unique network of contacts and build relationships with professionals who are also dedicated to ensuring sustainable seafood for future generations.

Apart from required training and qualification, we have performance management processes in place to ensure you will have the opportunity to develop yourself both professionally and personally within our organization.
