As Norway's largest regional grid company, Elvia drives the development of the Norwegian grid industry. With one million digital electricity meters in our network, we have access to huge amounts of data that can provide unique opportunities. Now you can help Elvia elevate its work with data management and succeed as a data-driven business.
Elvia's newly established data management department will in 2026 consist of CDO, one data architect and two data engineers.
In the role of data architect, you are responsible for designing, developing and managing the organization's overall data architecture. You will work to ensure that data flows across systems in an efficient, structured and secure way, in line with business needs and applicable regulations. Our data platform will enable efficient operation, analysis and insight based on large amounts of measurement data from, among other things, AMS and sensors in the power grid, operational control systems, the grid information system and the ERP system.
The workplace will be one of our great offices in Hamar or in Oslo, depending on what suits you best. Some travel between our two largest locations must be expected.
