About the role

Are you passionate about Energy Management, CO₂ calculations and the EU ETS?

We are looking for a subject-matter expert to join our experienced team, specialising in auditing within Energy Management and CO₂ verification. If you have in‑depth knowledge of CO₂ verification and calculations, along with solid technical insight into the relevant EU legislation, you could become part of our team as Service Responsible.

  • Conducting CO₂ audits and verifications
  • Keeping the organisation and internal systems up to date with the latest legislation and requirements
  • Acting as a technical beacon within the field, ensuring we maintain a high professional standard

In addition, you will actively maintain and develop your qualifications, ensure compliance with accreditation requirements, and meet any other internal or external standards. You will also take on the role of team leader for audit teams, hold project management responsibility — particularly for larger key accounts — provide technical support to the sales team, and contribute to the development of new services and training offerings.

Transcript

Business Assurance is a unit of DNV where we are working with our customers towards verifying them if they are compliant with some particular rules. We are responsible for scheduling audits. We need to assign the right person with the right competences to conduct such an audit. And we are analysing and improving their processes. But sometimes we need to register some findings like observation, opportunity for improvement, or even non-conformities. I verify our clients' system management by observing them, how they work, how they produce. It's very interesting because we are delivering some additional information for our customers, what they cannot see or discover in their own systems. My work life as an auditor is completely different than employees who are working from the office every day. Because usually I'm travelling to our customers that are located in a different part of our country. Almost every week I work with different people in different companies. So if you like travel, if you are well organized, DNV can be for you.

Working here

Since 1864 we’ve been dedicated to safeguarding life, property and the environment. Today we remain at the forefront of new technologies and techniques to help our customers transform for a more sustainable future.

At DNV you can expect to deliver career and industry defining work. You’ll be given the time to build your network, the resources to support your development, and the freedom to satisfy your curiosity and desire to learn.
