Depending on the position, you may also be asked to complete an aptitude test, a personality assessment, or a job-related task or case study. These assessments help us better understand your skills, working style, and potential fit within the team.
As Statkraft operates critical infrastructure and services across several countries, we are required to conduct background and reference checks before extending any employment offers. This step ensures the safety, compliance, and integrity of our operations.
