Norway and NRL

We’ve supported the energy sector in Norway with technical recruitment services for decades, centred around our compliance and industry knowledge.

Your Norwegian recruitment partner

Here at NRL, we’re regularly asked to resource the right skills to work on North Sea and Norwegian projects, because our international recruitment team can identify a wealth of candidates with the experience needed to work across a wide spectrum of engineering and support roles. 

We recruit globally, so our team can also provide a comprehensive mobilisation service to our clients. Meticulously taking care of visa and travel documentation, insurance, accommodation and any other arrangements needed. 

Compliant global payroll solutions

We understand how payroll and tax works in Norway and are proud to maintain a fully compliant solution for our clients and workers. From managing occupational pension contributions, to processing holiday entitlement and ensuring that every krone is correct on payslips and salary payments.

We manage thousands of workers each week, which means we’re well-versed in all the necessary compliance to ensure all employment law is followed. This includes issuing Norwegian employment contracts that cover all the legal requirements, compliantly managing holiday pay and annual leave entitlement and adhering to legal notice periods – whilst ensuring we treat everyone with care and compassion.

What our candidates say

Our industry expertise

From oil and gas, to green energy such as renewables, hydro and wind – we’re able to source technical expertise to help organisations deliver their engineering projects in Norway. 

We’ve supported a wide range of projects in the North Sea and Norway for the past three decades, so we’re always able to share our expertise and advice to clients looking to find the right people for their energy and engineering projects. 

What’s more we operate globally, supporting international engineering companies to find the best skilled workers across the globe. This means we have access to a wide range of job boards and candidates who are interested in travelling for work and exploring new opportunities. 

A long track record for compliance

Having managed international recruitment overseas for decades, we know that each country’s legislation brings its own set of challenges – and Norway is no exception.

That’s why we have established strong relationships with our in-country partner, who we work with to ensure we stay up-to-date with upcoming changes in legislation, whilst always meeting the precise requirements of The Norwegian Tax Administration. For our clients, this means they can focus on managing their projects, knowing that the payroll and taxation of their workers is taken care of.
