Are you Aziwell’s new Chief Product & Technology Officer?

Aziwell is an international high-tech industrial company headquartered in Trondheim, with local operations in Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. We are a growing company and have been recognized as a “Gazelle company” for several years. In 2025, we were also awarded “Best International Company of the Year” in Mid-Norway.

At Aziwell, you will find a strong professional environment with engaged and ambitious colleagues. We actively promote an innovative culture characterized by openness, collaboration, continuous improvement, curiosity, and proactivity.

This ability to innovate is exactly what has made Aziwell a leading player in directional drilling technology, particularly aimed at exploration and infrastructure projects. We work closely with world-leading mining and drilling companies and deliver technology to several of the largest global players.

Aziwell is looking for a Chief Product & Technology Officer to lead our technology and product development processes.

The company is in a phase of strong international scaling and increasing technological complexity. Our technology and product domain spans mechanical, electromechanical, electronic, and software-based systems, and places high demands on end-to-end technology leadership.
This role will be a central part of the executive leadership team, with a clear strategic and operational mandate.
