NorwayWhat I'm looking for
I’m an operations and logistics leader with 18+ years of experience delivering operational excellence across offshore, industrial, and international environments. I’m trusted to establish new operations, optimize supply chains, and solve complex operational challenges with strong commercial discipline.
I bring hands-on expertise in ISO 9001 auditing, customs, project cargo, and continuous improvement. I’ve consistently translated process improvement and quality management into measurable business outcomes.
At Archer Well Services, I lead logistics operations for four onshore bases and twelve offshore rigs. I serve as Logistics Subject Matter Specialist and ISO 9001 Audit Manager, and I reorganised and optimized warehouse operations and logistics processes—strengthening invoice governance and contributing to approximately NOK 17 million in cost savings.
Previously, I built a new logistics base supporting twelve offshore rigs at SR Group as Logistics Manager / Project Manager, managing warehouse operations, customs, HSE, and personnel. I also established DHL Global Forwarding’s Ocean Freight department in Bergen, building a profitable industrial customer portfolio and coordinating international project logistics.
