Norsk Helicopter AS

[TiPwEiGhT]

Can anyone provide me with details on pay and working conditions with Norsk. Feel free to PM if preffered.

Thanks, TiP:ok:

[helimutt]

Standard of living in Norway is high. Pay is high, to cover cost of living. Can't think of any bad points except the language would be a pain to master.:)

[TiPwEiGhT]

Thanks helimutt.

Can't think of any bad points except the language would be a pain to master.

And that they have just lost the Statoil contract to CHC HS, so I don't imagine there is too much recruiting going on!

[DECUFAULT]

Great place and a great team to work with, never had a problem with the language as they all speak english :ok:

[rotordude]

Norsk Helikopter need apx. 10 pilots, and will be recruiting in the near future.

[Dagenhamdave]

many thanks
DD

[helimutt]

Stable roster, good pay, great people, nice place to live if you like the cold, very expensive, high cost of living, oh, and from what I hear, they are looking for people.

[TiPwEiGhT]

Next recruitment event is in January, they may have already selected people for it. PM for me info.

[Dagenhamdave]

Thanks guys,

I applied on there on line application on the 22nd December and on the 24th I got an e-mail saying they had recieved my application and processing it and would call me soon.
I presume this is the standard reply that everyone got.

[TiPwEiGhT]

Expect an e-mail. At present they are only looking at people with more than 1000hrs and IR(H), that would be the same as most N. Sea operators I think.

[maxvne]

I will let you know if I hear from them as I meet the requirements, hopefully I will

[TunaSandwich]

Just wondering how the Norsk interview compares to CHC? I assume they use the same psych tests but I believe the interviews are over three days!!?

[maxvne]

Oh my god 3 days if I am called for I will never pass, and eventhough I have just under 9,000 hours mostly Twin with a UK IR for 10 years I would probably be considered or come out as mad.

[Sabrerider]

Any new information/consideration on Norsk?
What about their recruitment process?
Does anyone has any cues?

Hi there,
anyone have any up to date info on selection process etc for Norsk.

Thanks,
DD

[TiPwEiGhT]

Selection events were in Nov & Dec 2007, Feb & Mar 2008, I am not sure if there has or is anymore planned. In Dec 07' they were requiring 12-13 pilots, most positions have been filled I think. Am not aware if they require any more. Randi Bakke is your best point of contact.

[maxvne]

Hi All, has anyone attended or is going to the selection process for Norsk?
I am going during May and would appreciate it if there is any information on selection, I am really dreading doing any of the speed tests if there are any, sim check ok I think.

Thanks

Hi all out there...

Norsk was just doing new screenings a few days ago... does any one of you have informations about the contens of those sessions?

I just got the info that they took 3-4 days...! No idea if they changed to the Bristow screens now... or do they still continue the norwegian way? May you have also any information regrading new offshore jobs comming up with Norsk...

I guess till now they have "full house" again...

Thanks a lot out to all of you...

Whats the difference between the Bristow's and the Norwegian way??:uhoh:

[TipCap]

FWIW I worked for Norsk for 5 years on secondment from Bristow and I found them a great bunch of guys. Very professional. However that was in the days of Norsk still being majority owned by Norwegian and importing the experience from Bristow.

I can't say how the total "Bristowisation" has affected them but there are still guys in senior positions working for Norsk who I worked with and I can't rate them highly enough :ok:

Best wishes

[212_Nightdipper]

This has to be one of the best places to work in the helicopter industry
Good working conditions,pay,thoroughly professional and brilliant people to work with but then I am biased as I work here :ok:
Hi John :) hope you are enjoying your retirement as the only 'Paddy' working here I had the pleasure of meeting you on your last stint here in Stavanger

Could anybody shed some light on what kind of candidate they're looking for in terms of experience/age/background? Also can anybody tell if ~6000 hrs of FW multicrew/airline experience in addition to helicopter ratings would be of any help, or otherwise?

Regards,

Stuck

[TiPwEiGhT]

ATR,

FO requirements are 1000hrs total time (500hrs helicopter if I remember correctly), JAR CPL(H) and JAR IR(H).

As for age, it's a mixed bunch with people joining from early 20's up to mid 40's. Previous experience ranges from instructing, ex-mil or off-shore. One or two have previous fixed-wing careers.
