As a process engineer, you work with developing and operating processing plants. This involves monitoring and maintenance of machinery and piping systems. The process engineer draws and builds process facilities and is responsible for safety.

Trainee engineer

Cornelius Hermansen

I work at Astafjord Smolt AS, as an engineer trainee.
During my trainee period, I spend a lot of time learning daily operations with other colleagues, but at the same time having a couple of projects on my own. Right now this includes sludge treatment and energy monitoring.

I like that I have varied work tasks, so that no day is the same. It’s also exciting to work with living organisms and making sure they have optimal conditions.
We are a good team at Astafjord Smolt and we work well together.
