We are looking for two Commercial Graduates to join our team in Bergen. This opportunity is open to recent graduates and candidates with up to two years of professional experience who hold a degree in Engineering, Finance, Business, Law, or a related field. Candidates completing their studies in 2027 are expected to start in autumn 2027. Applicants who have already graduated and have up to two years of professional experience may be considered for an earlier start date.

As part of DOF's Commercial team, you will be involved in the commercial management of offshore projects from the early opportunity phase through tendering, contract negotiation, project execution, and close-out. You will support a wide range of commercial activities, including pricing, contract management, variation orders, risk assessments, and commercial strategy.

Working closely with colleagues across commercial, technical, legal, tax, finance, and operational disciplines, you will gain insight into how complex offshore projects are developed, negotiated, and delivered. As part of the team responsible for securing new business and supporting ongoing projects, you will contribute to maintaining DOF's project backlog and supporting future growth.

You will work on a wide range of offshore opportunities, each with its own commercial, contractual, and operational challenges. We are looking for someone who is analytical, curious, and comfortable taking ownership. This role offers hands-on experience, exposure to key commercial decisions, and the opportunity to develop into a commercial professional within a global offshore business.

Tasks:

• Support commercial strategy development, tender preparation, pricing, business cases, and proposals.
• Review contracts, identify risks, and support negotiations with clients and partners.
• Collaborate with technical, operational, legal, and finance teams to develop competitive solutions.
• Support contract administration, variation orders, and other commercial activities during project execution.
  

• Educated to bachelor’s or master's degree level, preferably within Business, Law, Finance, Engineering or similar
• 0-2 years of professional experience. Recent graduates and candidates with a few years of relevant experience are encouraged to apply
• Interest in the maritime and offshore industry
• Strong analytical and commercial mindset
• Fluent in English (an additional language is a plus) 

Personal skills 

• Structured and able to meet deadlines
• Proactive, adaptable, and solution-oriented
• Comfortable working across functions and cultures
• Able to perform well in fast-paced and evolving environments
• High ethical standards and a digital mindset

Is this the perfect role for you, but you don’t meet every single requirement? We value the right person over a perfect match to a job description. Research shows that underrepresented groups are less likely to apply unless they meet every listed requirement, and we don’t want that to hold great talent back, so we encourage you to apply. It’s the best way for us to find the right talent for this role, or another, and that could be you.

Application due date: 04.10.2026
