“I’ve worked here since 2021, and it has been an incredible journey. I get to challenge myself every day, and because the tasks are so varied, I’m rarely bored and learn something new all the time. At Oma you feel like you and your work really matters. I remember seeing Fjorgyn at sea, the first ship I helped build. I felt proud to point out the concrete result of my work, a special feeling for me.”
