Maritime engineering careers today demand more than specialized knowledge in a single discipline. At TeamTec, engineers work across engineering, production and testing, gaining hands-on experience with maritime systems that are designed, built and operated in demanding environments worldwide.
As a Norwegian maritime technology company, TeamTec offers maritime engineering careers where practical involvement is a core part of everyday work. Engineers are not separated from production or service realities. Instead, they take part in the full lifecycle of maritime systems – from technical planning and documentation to assembly, testing, troubleshooting and customer support.
This way of working creates engineers with a strong understanding of how systems perform in real operation. It also shapes a workplace culture built on collaboration, technical ownership and continuous learning.
Understanding the whole system
Rune is one of the employees who works across disciplines. His role includes handling customer inquiries, supporting internal teams and solving technical challenges in projects that involve multiple departments.
“What makes TeamTec an attractive place to work is the combination of interesting tasks and a strong working environment,” Rune explains. “From the very beginning, there has been a clear focus on continuous learning and development.”
By working both in production-related tasks and office-based engineering, Rune gains insight into how maritime systems behave under real operating conditions. This practical understanding strengthens engineering decisions, improves documentation quality and ensures solutions that are adapted to real-world use.
“Our work is not just about solving one task in isolation,” he says. “Quick and accurate handling of technical requests helps reduce downtime for customers and builds trust in TeamTec as a supplier.”
From theory to practice
The value of hands-on experience is also clear to Alexander, who has spent time at TeamTec as a student in practice. With a background in computer engineering and mechanical engineering, he has worked on a wide range of production and testing activities – from assembly and welding to internal testing and machining.
“Seeing in practice what we learn in theory gives a completely different understanding,” Alexander says. “A lot of theory does not really make sense until you see how things are actually built, tested and used.”
During his practice period, Alexander gained exposure to many parts of the organization, helping him understand how engineering, production and testing are closely connected in a maritime technology company.
“Being involved in different tasks gives you a better understanding of the whole process and how production in a company really works,” he explains.
Collaboration as a strength
At TeamTec, close collaboration across departments is a practical necessity. Our maritime systems are designed for long lifecycles in demanding environments, where reliability, serviceability and documentation are just as important as technical performance.
Employees who understand both production and engineering play a key role in bridging these disciplines. Their insight helps ensure that solutions are practical to build, efficient to operate and easier to support throughout their lifetime.
“The collaboration across departments is one of the things that really stands out,” Rune says. “There is a strong willingness to help each other, and good communication and trust from management.”
A workplace for those who want to learn and contribute
At TeamTec, combining office and production work is not about unclear roles. It is about building competence, responsibility and better maritime solutions. Engineers gain a broader technical understanding, while the company benefits from practical insight feeding directly into engineering, planning and decision-making.
For students and early-career engineers, this environment offers a clear path from theory to practice. For experienced professionals, it provides variation, technical depth and the opportunity to see the real-world impact of their work.
“It has been very valuable to see all aspects of TeamTec,” Alexander says. “The follow-up from colleagues has been excellent, and the working environment makes it easy to learn.”
Building solutions – and maritime engineering careers – in practice
At TeamTec, technology in practice is about people who understand the full picture, take responsibility and work together to deliver reliable maritime solutions to customers worldwide.
For those seeking maritime engineering careers where engineering meets reality, and where learning continues throughout working life, TeamTec offers a workplace where competence is built across both desk and workshop.
