Sales

  • Olav-B

    Sales Manager

    Olav Brakstad

    I’ve been with ClampOn since 1999. I’ve worked in Sales right from the start, but also spent some time in Service at the beginning as part of my training. Initially I was area representative for Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, and after a while covered Asia and the Pacific.

    I became Sales Manager in 2008. My work in Sales is hectic and exciting, and what I enjoy most is the contact I have with my colleagues and customers. I find working in a global industry like the oil industry exciting, particularly being part of the development and sale of ClampOn’s new technology and products. Not every company is as proactive as we are. 

    In my spare time I like to go fishing and hiking  – preferably up in the mountains. Not much can beat mountainous areas of Western Norway.

  • Eirik-W-

    Area Sales Manager

    Eirik Walle

    I have worked as Area Sales Manager in ClampOn since 2011. I truly enjoy working with so many highly skilled colleagues. Higly skilled colleagues combined with the culture and the down-to-earth attitude set forth by the company values, is most likely the reason why I am still working here, a decade later.

    We are fortunate to be working in a international industry, supplying to more than 70 different countries, this has given me a great insight into the different cultures and challenges that our clients experience in their countries.

    Being a proud father of two lovely young daughters, my spare time is somewhat limited these days, but I do manage to go hiking with our dog, and even play some guitar every now and then, which I really enjoy. I have spent the last 4 years refurbishing our home as well, so I guess I can refer to myself as somewhat of a handyman

  • Ashild

    Area Sales Manager

    Åshild Trædal

    I first joined the ClampOn team in 2014, as a CAD Engineer in the Project Department, with many years of experience in the metal industry.

    A year later I moved to the USA to study to become a fitness professional and to pursue a career in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ); training, teaching, and competing at world-class level.

    I returned to Norway late 2019, and was lucky and excited to find a spot open for me as a CAD Engineer! Same job, many familiar faces and some new ones; some well-known products and several new and clever ones. The team and environment are laid-back, yet professional and forward-leaning, with room for ideas and growth.

    As per 1. July 2022 i work at the sales department as Area Sales Manager – new tasks and new experiences, helping our customers get the best solution to solve the different challenges that they have.

    Outside of work, I still train, teach and compete in BJJ and I have a sole proprietorship as a personal trainer. I also enjoy spending time with my family; hiking, camping, traveling, music festivals, home improvements – all the classic Norwegian hobbies, with an added twist of martial arts.

  • Fakhreddin

    Sales Manager - Middle East

    Fakhreddin Diyab

    After completing my bachelor’s degree in Ocean Technology in 2022, I have been lucky enough to join the ClampOn sales team. Having previously gained qualifications as a professional diver, I worked as a diver alongside my studies.

    The role as Sales Manager for the Middle East includes having direct contact with our customers in this area, clarifying customers’ needs, and making sure the solutions we provide are a good fit with the customers’ requirements. This job allows me to develop my technical skills and grow my people skills and I really appreciate being part of the team. My position also includes traveling for client meetings, agent training, conferences and exhibitions.

    I have a passion for music, and I like to spend my spare time with family, friends, and play the electric guitar (power chords and rapid solos).

  • Ingrid

    Sales

    Ingrid Aarvik

    After finishing a year of study in intercultural understanding, including a cultural class on China, I moved on to my bachelor’s degree in International Marketing. After this period, i started to work in sales and marketing.

    I joined the sales team at ClampOn in May 2024.

    One of the things I love most about working at ClampOn is the very friendly work environment and the opportunity to work with so many people from all over the world. I am passionate about promoting ClampOn’s innovative tools because they represent the cutting edge of technology and have a significant impact on our clients’ success.

    Outside of work, I enjoy social activities, game nights, skiing, and going to the cinema. Don’t ask me about my favorite film because that is impossible to choose. I also enjoy a good book, especially when the rain starts in Bergen (which is most days).

  • Mina

    Area Sales Manager

    Mina Karlsen

    I joined the Sales Department at ClampOn in June 2024. I have a MSc in marketing management and have previously worked in both sales and digital marketing.

    One of the things I enjoy most about my Sales role is the opportunity to attend exciting exhibitions and meet customers from all over the world, as well as learning from my fantastic and skilled colleagues.

    Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and engaging in different activities with friends and family – whether it’s padel, frisbee golf, hiking or social game nights. I also enjoy the simple pleasure of a good crime series on the sofa.

  • Helge Løvfall

    Area Sales Manager

    Helge Løvfall

    Proud to have joined the ClampOn team in November 2024.

    With a background from the Telecommunication and Electronics industry since the late `90s, I have a long record from technical sales. Together with my knowledgeable colleagues across different departments, I am now helping clients chose the best solutions for optimizing their oil and gas production.

    In my spare time, I find catching a big fish from the bottom of the sea both thrilling and calming. Hopefully, this is followed by the satisfaction of making my own tasty fish & chips.

    Travelling is also a hobby, and now that this is part of my job, it adds an exciting dimension to my work.

Marketing

  • Tonje-Dahl

    Marketing and Communications Manager

    Tonje Dahl

    I am Marketing and Communications Manager, and have been working on the marketing side since the start of summer 1997. I have a lot of wonderful colleagues here and an exciting job.

    I go into the mountains as often as I can. With a hectic life, children and activities, it’s good to find some peace and quiet in the mountains, in summer and in winter. Skiing trips on the Hardanger plateau are fantastic and so are hiking trips on the plateau in summer.

    Throughout my years at ClampOn, I’ve met so many amazing people, both as colleagues at ClampOn and contacts in other companies. We’ve had a lot of fun in that time, with unforgettable trips around the world, encounters with different cultures and people, new acquaintances and friends who I really appreciate.

  • Anja Bilsbak

    I am responsible for preperations of all events that we attend, travel and set up stands at exhibitions and i get to meet a lot of interesting people in this industry. I get to use my creativity and to front a company that i really believe in. I am proud to be part of the ClampOn family – Always Numero Uno!

    In my free time I like spending time with my family and friends.

Support

  • Åsmund Bakke

    Manager Service & Support Dept.

    Åsmund Bakke

    I have been working at ClampOn since 2004. During my first six years, I worked as a Service Engineer travelling worldwide. I was born in a small fjord village south of Bergen and had never been overseas before, so I feel very fortunate to have had this opportunity.

    My first trip was to Baku, Azerbaijan and was an adventure; I have since visited all continents, including Antarctica and learned a lot about other cultures and expanded my perspective of the world.

    From 2009 I have been working in the Support Department and am now working as Support Service Manager. The combination of working with people and technical systems are the best part of my job, in addition to working in a great team. 

    Before I started at ClampOn I worked with cars in the VAG Group and I still enjoy troubleshooting on complex car problems. My family and the countryside around Folgefonna (a glacier in Norway, where you can also go skiing during summertime) where I grew up, are most important to me.

  • Torje

    Support Manager

    Torje Olsen

    The first time I set foot in Bergen was on my way to a job interview at ClampOn way back in 2009. I got the job and have been with ClampOn ever since.

    Starting at ClampOn as a Field Engineer and traveling offshore around the world, I later moved to the ClampOn Support team.

    Most recently, I became Manager of the ClampOn Support department, and I look forward to all the opportunities and challenges ahead of me in my new role.

    In my spare time, I like to go hiking in the beautiful mountains surrounding Bergen and play as many rounds of golf as Bergen’s weather and Norway’s climate permit.

  • Baard bw

    Senior Support Engineer

    Baard Brattebø

    I joined ClampOn in 2000. Since then I have worked in different departments; Production, Service, Projects, Sales, and most recently in the Support Department.

    I love my job, it gave me (pre-Covid) the opportunity to travel and meet people from other cultures and nations. I am given a lot of freedom and can focus on new and alternative projects when that is needed. I believe the industry we are working in will keep us occupied and challenged for years to come. 

    Outside of work I very much enjoy boat life during the summer season and skiing during the winter. My family; wife and two kids and work colleagues keep me busy and happy all year round. I love skiing, water sports, hiking, hunting, IT, DIY. Carpe Diem……………….

    Engineer, Sand Management & Support

    Øyvind Lønning

    I have been working at ClampOn as a Field Engineer since August 2014. There are so many things I like about my job; I always meet new challenges, get to travel to places I probably wouldn’t visit otherwise and of course the work environment. My greatest hobby is competition shooting, so in my spare time I put a lot of effort into the training that comes with it. I also, of course, enjoy having social time with my friends.

  • Maren-R

    Engineer, Sand Management & Support

    Maren Rong

    I began full time as a Support Engineer at ClampOn in June 2022 after completing my master’s degree in underwater acoustics. What excites me in the support role is being close to the customer, the technology, and the instruments. There is a lot to learn and many challenges, but this makes it fun. I really like the department and have been made to feel very welcome by all my colleagues.

    I spend my spare time with friends, hiking, diving, and skiing.

    Workshop Manager

    Ronny Vågenes

    As of 19th December 2016, I started working for the service department as workshop manager. The role includes preparing all equipment needed for the many service jobs around the world, and also rental equipment. There will be many similar tasks to those I have been doing in the production department, but also new and interesting challenges. I am looking forward to this new position.

    Endre Kolle

    I started my journey as a Field Engineer with ClampOn in 2014. What I really love about my job is that I get to work with exciting technology, both offshore and onshore all around the world. The oil and gas industry is constantly changing; meaning that a good challenge is always around the corner, making us grow a little bit every day.

  • Havard

    Engineer, Field Operations

    Håvard Pihlstrøm

    I joined ClampOn in the autumn of 2018 as a Project Engineer. This position allowed me to familiarize with ClampOn’s products, as well as the organization and people. While working in the Project department for almost 3 years, I gained a lot of experience and knowledge from my highly skilled co-workers and by working on complex projects.

    As I enjoy practical work and technical challenges, I started as a Field Operations Engineer in October 2021. This position can make your day-to-day routine a bit unpredictable, however mostly in a good way. It allows me to travel to places I probably never would have experienced on my own, and I get to experience our products in operation. Also, I appreciate the work rotation as it allows me to fully focus on work when travelling, and then have time off to spend on friends, family and personal projects.

  • Aleksander

    Engineer, Field Operations

    Aleksander Kvalvåg Solheim

    I started working as a Topside Project Engineer at ClampOn in June 2022. At the Project department, I was working with planning, documentation and testing different topside systems before it was shipped to the customers. I also attended meetings with customers throughout each project. This was both interesting and educating work.

    After two years in the project department, I started as a Service Engineer for Field Operations at ClampOn’s Service department. This involves more practical work and installation, commissioning and field calibration will be amongst my tasks. After two years at the office, I am excited to see how everything is working in field.

    In my spare time, I like riding motorbikes, scuba diving, as well as bouldering at the different climbing gyms here in Bergen

    Engineer, Field Operations

    Kristian Munthe

    I started working as a Service Engineer at ClampOn in November 2022. I am excited for the opportunity to explore, gain new experiences and meet people from other cultures around the world.

    Engineer, Field Operations

    Viljar Isdal

    I started working at ClampOn as a Service Engineer in September 2023. I have a bachelor’s degree in Energy technology and a craft certificate as a carpenter. I am looking forward to getting out in the field and learning from the challenges that may arise. Having the opportunity to possibly travel the world as a part of the job is also an exiting benefit.

    In my spare time I am often busy with a vehicle of some sort, either doing repairs or driving around. If not, I am probably doing some sort of physical activity such as bouldering

    Karl-Magnus Glesnes Ødegaard

    I was lucky enough to become part of the ClampOn Service Department in October 2022. I am really looking forward to the new and exciting experiences travelling to places I probably wouldn’t go to ordinarily. In addition, I get to see the products ClampOn supplies out in the field, which hopefully will give me an even better understanding of the products and the technology they use.

    I spend most of my spare time with my partner and our daughter. Hobbies include football, computers, and something I took up during the corona pandemic, golf.

Project

  • Anne-Britt

    Manager Project Department

    Anne-Britt S. Tysseland

    I’ve been working at ClampOn since September 2013 in the project department. What I like best about my job is being able to follow the process closely from the time a product is sold to the time it’s delivered, and being able to work closely with so many of the people involved and have contact/follow-up with the customer.

    I am married with three lovely children. In my spare time I like to be outdoors and love going for trips, preferably to the mountains, either on foot or skiing.

  • Kurt

    Senior Project Engineer

    Kurt Høyheim

    I started working for ClampOn in February 2007. My position is Senior Project Engineer, but I started in Logistics and then moved over to Projects after another four months. The degree of freedom I have with my job is something with which I’m extremely satisfied. I’m also my own boss in terms of project management.

    Freedom in terms of working hours is also fantastic when you’re a notorious night owl. I’ve seen huge changes in the industry in the almost seven years since I’ve been working with projects. The way projects are implemented has become more complicated; the operators are setting greater documentation, testing and qualification requirements, which is a challenge for all suppliers, including ourselves.

  • Robert Harrison bw

    Project Engineer

    Robert Harrison

    I’ve been at ClampOn since 2011. My current position is Project Engineer. As well as projects, I also have a responsibility for our standard technical documentation. 

    I love the variation in my job, ClampOn’s open and flexible culture and the international aspect of the work. The oil and gas industry is hugely important throughout the world. There is enormous potential for ClampOn’s products, especially with the ever greater focus on increasing productivity and safety. It’s particularly exciting to be part of that in one of the industry’s leading technology companies.

  • Vidar Hundvin bw

    Senior CAD Engineer

    Vidar Hundvin

    I have been with ClampOn since October 2013 as Senior CAD Engineer in the Project Department. I like the teamwork with skilled colleagues, preparing ClampOn for the future in a hi-tech and exciting sector within the oil and gas industry. I love outdoor activities and prefer the vertical route to the mountain peak.

  • Bjorn-Magne

    I’m married, and a mum of three lovely children. My children keep me busy and there is never a boring moment at home.

    In my spare time I like to see my family and friends, as well as travelling and going to spinning classes

  • Joakim

    Project Engineer

    Joakim Rasmussen

    I started working as a project engineer at ClampOn in august 2023. This is a great opportunity for me to develop my knowledge about the ClampOn product line, ultrasonic sensor technology, as well as general engineering practices. My duties include starting and handling production orders, compiling documentation, and performing factory acceptance tests to ensure the products are to ClampOn standards.

    Outside of work I enjoy hiking, board games with friends and playing disc-golf on one of the courses here in Bergen. When it’s raining, which it does a lot here in Bergen, I enjoy staying in with a good movie or some video games.

  • Thor-Andre

    Project Engineer

    Thor-Andre Bjørsvik

    I started working at ClampOn in August 2024 after completing my BEng degree in electronics.

  • Mia Holdhus

    Project Team Member

    Mia Holdhus

    I joined ClampOn in 2019 as an apprentice in the production department. After finishing my craft certificate as a production electronics technician, I worked in the project department. Currently, I am studying for a bachelor’s degree in ocean technology while continuing to work part-time in the project department.

    With my background in manufacturing our products, I find it very interesting to now be part of the many different sides of project management where, among other things, I interact with customers and work with documentation. I really enjoy the variety of tasks which comes with the job, while being able to work with a great team.

    Outside of work and school, I enjoy playing football, go hiking and skiing, and spending time with friends and family. I also love to cook and bake, so I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, often with a good true-crime podcast in my ears

  • Lulu

    Project Coordinator

    Lollo Larsen

    I have been with ClampOn since 2008. I work as a Project Coordinator, but I started as an Administration Secretary in Reception. My job gives me fantastic colleagues, a great working environment and I get to work with my husband…. 

    The world needs plenty of energy. At the moment there aren’t enough ‘green’ resources, so we will probably have to live with fossil fuels for the rest of my lifetime. The industry provides secure jobs.

    I’m Italian and I go to Italy as often as I can; I pack a few things, take my family and just go.

Administration

  • Nina Torkelsen bw

    Financial Manager

    Nina Torkelsen

    I started working at ClampOn in 1997 and I am the Financial Manager. I have had the same title since I started here, but my workday has changed every year as ClampOn has grown bigger and bigger. 

    The best part of my job is having new challenges every day – and working with people I care about. I believe the oil- and gas industry will continue to play a significant role when it comes to development and utilization of new technology and that companies like ClampOn will play an important role in the industry for many years to come. 

    My passion outside work is brass bands. I have played the tuba since I was 11 years old – and I’m still learning to be a better tuba player – it’s a life-long quest for perfection (much like working for a technology company like ClampOn!)

  • Janne

    Personnel Coordinator

    Janne Rimstad

    I’ve been Personnel Coordinator – Service since 2000. I started as a secretary when ClampOn was in its infancy; in those days everyone in the company had more than one role and often several “hats”.

    A fax machine was a necessity, and the internet was something new and exciting. What I value most here is that you have a lot of responsibility, that you are able to organise your own time and shape your own workdays. 

    I need fresh air and to be active as a release for all my energy. I own AND use lots of different types of running shoes, both for indoors and outdoors. Other than that I love good food and spend a lot of my time in the kitchen.

  • Linda-Ellingsen

    Administration

    Linda S. Ellingsen

    I have been working at the administration desk at ClampOn since February 2020. I really like the variety of work, and I get to work with all the departments in ClampOn.

    Systems Engineer

    Tormod Reigstad

    I joined ClampOn in 2003 and work as Systems Engineer. The best part of my job is the diversity. I get to work on a lot of challenges within programming, different communication technology, flow-rig construction and I also get to go on trips offshore occasionally. Last, but not least, I get to work with a lot of highly skilled people, who make ClampOn a great workplace. 

    My family and I live in a rural area where I enjoy road bicycle racing, home improvement and our dedicated home theatre.

    I joined ClampOn in November 2024 as an IT Engineer for the IT department. I hold a master’s degree in digitalization and previously worked as an IT consultant in the Bergen region, gaining valuable experience in technology and client-focused solutions.

    I’m excited to be part of ClampOn’s on-site IT team, especially given the company’s dynamic growth and the opportunities within the IT department. Contributing to innovative projects and supporting the company’s forward momentum is something I’m looking forward to!

    Outside of work, I like spending time outdoors, either hiking or biking. When the weather is bad, I like to watch movies and sports, with Formula 1 racing being my favourite to watch

Software Engineering

    IT Manager

    Mads Toppe

    I’ve been working here since 1998 – 16 years. I work as an IT Manager (managing software product development and ICT operations). I started as a Systems Engineer in the Project Department, and spent around 100 days a year doing service and support in the field for the first five years. 

    The best thing is the freedom to make an impact. Also the upbeat and informal, but professional working environment. The oil and gas industry offers much enthusiasm and great opportunities, in both good and troubled times.

  • Roger Sæle bw

    Software Developer

    Roger Sæle

    I joined ClampOn in 2004. I started my career in ClampOn travelling around the world as a service engineer. After doing this for a couple of years I started working at the Support Department, which was in its infancy with only two employees including myself.

    Recently I started working at the IT Department as a Software Developer. I like the creative process of developing software. It is always rewarding to see the finished result.

    On 1 February 2007 I started working with ClampOn in the Project Department, where I worked until October 2013. Since then my position has been Software Developer. I learn something new in my job all the time. I live with my partner and two small children and I like running.

  • Kjell-Edmund

    Senior Software Developer

    Kjell-Edmund Ims

    I joined ClampOn as a Senior Developer in November 2023 bringing with me a diverse multidisciplinary background ranging from electronics and mechanical aerospace to software development. I spent 13 years living and working in the US before moving back to Norway in January 2020. I have worked in fields ranging from automated test systems, to oil and gas sensor systems, to jet-engine software verification, validation, and certification; and most recently with antenna stabilizing systems for high speed low latency RF communication systems.

    LabVIEW has been a thread through most of my academic and professional life, and my current role will enable me to develop my skills further still. As part of the IT software team, I will assist with maintenance and development of new and existing software products and tools for internal and external use.

    I live with my wife in Fyllingsdalen where we enjoy being close to the city without all the noise. When not working, I enjoy reading, and I am an active competitive pistol shooter. I also enjoy making home-made ciders and fruit-wines, and of course relaxing with a good movie.

Logistics and Procurement

  • Hege

    Logistics Manager

    Hege S. Edal

    I’ve worked at ClampOn since 2005. My current position is Logistics Manager, with responsibility for purchasing, warehouse and dispatch. I’ve also worked in the Sales Department for a couple of years. 

    The best part of my job is the high level of activity and working with very skilled and positive people. The oil industry is exciting, technically complex and innovative, where fresh challenges are always just around the corner.

    From a logistics perspective, there is always room for improvement, especially when it comes to cooperation and working with the various links in the value chain. 

    My weekends are often spent with family and friends at our cabin in the mountains, where we like to go skiing. Other than that much of my spare time is spent on activities with my children, husband and dog. We have two active girls who like swimming, handball, gymnastics and skiing. And when I have a bit of time left over at home, I like to pick up a pair of knitting needles or a paintbrush.

  • Marion

    Logistics Coordinator

    I started work as Receptionist with ClampOn in 2007. Early in 2008 I became a Logistics Coordinator and have since been a part of the Logistics Team. The best things about my work are my colleagues and the fact that there is always action; it´s challenging and you are always learning something new. 

    My closest family is Tony, Leon and Anna.  I love to draw and paint, as well as always being involved in a new project in the garden or in the house. I also have a passion for baking and other creative food art.

    Purchaser

    Jørgen Engum

    I’ve worked at ClampOn since 2008 and my current position is Purchaser. I have been in the Logistics Department from the beginning, but in different roles as Warehouse Keeper and Exporter before becoming Purchaser. 

    The best things by far are my colleagues and our working environment! It’s also very exciting to be a part of developing this growing business. 

    There’s nothing like a mountain covered in fresh powder snow, ready for my snowboard tracks! Except my little new-born daughter smiling at me :o)

  • Ingvill Skjellvik

    Purchaser

    Ingvill Skjellvik

    I started working at ClampOn in September 2014 as a Purchaser. I had experience from B2B sales and purchasing processes, but mainly from the accessories and clothing industry. Although the actual purchasing process may be similar, it was a totally new world for me to work in the Oil and Gas Industry. I found it very exciting.

    I worked in the logistics department for two years before I got transferred to the administration department in 2016. Invoicing was one of my main tasks. As of February 2017 I was responsible for Salary and Wages and I had that position for 2 years. I learned a lot! Luckily for me, I have great colleagues who patiently answer all my questions. After a period of maternity leave, I am now back at the logistic department as a Purchaser.

    I am very grateful for having the opportunity to work here, for a company which challenges me to do tasks that I have never done before.

    My husband and I have 3 children born 2010, 2012 and 2018, so we never get bored!
    I like to spend my spare time with family and friends, I like Zumba as a work out and I love skiing.

    One of the best things about ClampOn is all the great people who work here.

    I have 3 wonderful children who all share an interest in football, so when the working day is over you will find me mostly on a football pitch.

  • Tim-Waage

    Warehouse keeper

    Tim S. Waage

    I`ve worked at ClampOn since January 2020 as a Warehouse Keeper, a position I have learned a lot from. I am very happy working here with good colleagues and a great working environment. Hopefully this can be a good and long “marriage” with ClampOn.

  • Geir-H

    Instrument Technician

    Geir Hjelmeland

    I’ve been at ClampOn since 2001, and have worked in the Production Department the whole time. I like the fact that we constantly get new challenges. The life of the oil and gas industry will be a long one because of the new technologies that will enable us to exploit the resources that are currently hard to extract. I think that we’ll see the biggest developments in the subsea market in particular. 

    I have a 31 year old daughter and a 27 year old son, and a partner whose name is Beate. My hobbies include my boat, house and garden, cars, motorbikes and travel. Leisure? What’s that then?

  • Ariel

    Instrument Technician

    Ariel Oyarce

    I started working as an instrumental technician at ClampOn in June 2024. I work with topside instruments most of my time but I try to learn something new every day so I may be doing something completely different other times. This flexibility and variety is one of the advantages of being at ClampOn. Being able to develop my skills and grow in the oil industry is another achievement for me and I can’t wait to see where this will bring me. Before ClampOn, I worked as cabin crew for 6 years.

    In my free time, I like to play football, ride my motorcycle, be with my family and friends, and play video games.

  • Mailen S Fotland

    Production Team Member

    I first started at ClampOn as a production electronics apprentice in 2019 and earned my trade certificate in March 2023. In November 2024, I rejoined the production department after a year in the Norwegian Army.

    One of the things I enjoy most about my job is the constant new challenges and learning opportunities. I work on the administrative side of production, focusing on documentation, which I find to be an exciting challenge.

    Outside of work, I enjoy strength training and running, skiing and ski touring, hiking, and spending time with family and friends

    I started working with ClampOn in January 2010 in the Service Department. After a few years I started in the Development department where I worked on the Corrosion-Erosion Monitor and the other ClampOn products.

    In 2023 I started as manager for development and engineering where I am now overseeing and contributing to the entire ClampOn instrumentation portfolio. Working in ClampOn gives many day-to-day technical challenges, but in a great working environment we work trough them one by one.

    ClampOn is a unique company where development, sales, engineering and production all takes place under the same roof. I really think that philosophy has been the key to success.

    I live and grew up in Laksevåg, just 100m from the ClampOn office. I live with my wife, two kids and a robot vacuum cleaner.

  • Eric-Nilsen

    Senior Engineer Technical Documentation

    Eric Nilsen

    When I was invited for a job interview in 1999, I had just secured a year’s study as a creative web designer and I was unsure this job would be for me; however the interview went well and I was happy to accept the offer I received to start in Production. 

    Since I started in ClampOn I have been working in Production for 7 years, Projects for 8 years and since 2014 I have been with the Development Department. I am genuinely committed to my job and to the position I have in the company.

    Typically, after a 12-hour shift at work, I can go home and relax on the sofa, where I enjoy reading specialist literature such as ATEX/IECEx standards. I like my job ‘too much’; I would say the environment is unique, almost like a family.

  • Kjell-H

    Senior Engineer

    Kjell Hjelmeseter

    I started in 2000 as Senior Engineer, R&D & Certification. The best thing is managing development projects from beginning to end. Developing ClampOn’s CAN bus interface has been encouraging. I enjoy walking in the woods with the children and making a bonfire outside.

    I joined ClampOn in 2012 and have worked as Development Manager until recently. I now work part time at ClampOn as Senior R&D Engineer and the rest of the time as Associate Professor at the University of Bergen.

    In our job as developers we are encouraged to think freely in search of solutions for exciting technical and scientific challenges. We work closely with experts in a wide range of technical fields both within our own company and with customers, suppliers, and academic partners.

As a software developer, I have experience in writing code for applications in embedded devices and Linux. I am passionate about computers and coding. The excitement of learning and getting involved in new technologies is very satisfying.

  • Inge-B-Eriksen

    Development Engineer

    Inge Bjørnar Eriksen

    I started as a Development Engineer in ClampOn in the summer of 2023 and will be working on documentation, using my background in certification and Ex documentation.

    Hobbies include Bergen and local history. I am proud to have been a co-author of the book ‘Sabotører i vest‘ about the resistance movement in Bergen and western Norway during the Second World War. Otherwise, my time and tears of joy and sorrow are somewhat unevenly spread between my family (wife and two kids, plus a grown-up son and grandchild), our cabin, our boat, and the local football team.

  • Jan-Gunnar

    Project Manager

    Jan Gunnar Skulstad

    I joined the R&D team in February 2024, and was tasked to manage project activities preparing the first wireless ClampOn product, BIRD, for release. This product is a mix of engineering disciplines, including ultrasound, electronics, software, and wireless.

    I used to work in the wireless communication industry worldwide for 25 years, and more recently spent 14 years in the automotive heavy-duty domain, developing ultrasound-based sensors that measure NOx emissions. Since I have always been passionate about engineering, I look forward to utilizing my background when supporting the BIRD development team.

    From an engineering point of view, ClampOn has in-house competence in all disciplines required to develop, test and manufacture a complex product, which I find motivating.

    In my spare time, I enjoy reading, meeting with friends to play music and taking care of my family, including our small dog. Given my long interest in engineering, I also like to do repair work on cars and audio equipment for family and friends.
