Jogeir joined Norled in 2021 after a few years in the Coast Guard, the Navy and on a tanker. Before that, he had completed an upper secondary education in mechanical engineering and spent two years on the training ship Sørlandet.
Although he works permanently on the Lavik-Oppedal connection, he has also worked on other ferries for shorter periods in Sogn, Northern Norway and outside Bergen.
-“A ferry engineer is often a generalist – you know a bit of everything and you come across different situations that you have to solve there and then. What’s great about Norled is that you can decide for yourself what you want to specialize in.
Here it is possible to do some of the maintenance yourself if you feel comfortable with it, at least after you have seen how a specialist has done it before. It’s up to you how much you want to get good at,” says Jogeir.
He appreciates a job where he’s not far away from his family for long periods of time and thinks it’s a good environment at Norled.
– I think there are a lot of good people at Norled. When you work close to a ferry, we are all dependent on creating a good environment, and I would say that we achieve that. “
