Great job opportunities – in Norway and abroad

As a graduate from NTNU’s geotechnical engineering program, you’ll be in high demand – both in Norway and internationally.
Employers value NTNU engineers for their strong academic background and hands-on experience.

You’ll have the freedom to work:

  • onshore
  • offshore
  • abroad

Most NTNU students receive job offers before they graduate, and in Norway, there is a real shortage of geotechnical engineers.


The future looks exciting

The construction industry is changing fast, with a strong focus on:

  • offshore wind energy
  • digital tools and solutions
  • sustainable construction

These areas are key to the green transition – and need geotechnical engineers like you.


A strong network opens doors

As an NTNU student, you’ll benefit from:

  • a strong alumni network
  • close ties to contractors, consultants, government agencies, and research centers

This gives you valuable connections and a good start to your career.
