Careers at Advannor
Great people build great things.
Engineering careers built on trust, real autonomy and projects that actually get built — across renewables, intralogistics, data centres and technology.
Who we are as an employer
One team across borders.
Advannor is a nearshore engineering partner for industrial leaders in Scandinavia, the UK and the US. As an engineer here, you work as a fully integrated extension of the client's own team — their stand-ups, their tools, their time zone — on infrastructure that matters: wind energy, data centres, intralogistics and heavy industry.
We call our model Employmentship: unlike agencies that hire for a single project and part ways, we build careers. When a project winds down, we keep the talent — in 90% of cases engineers move on to the next project with us, so your growth compounds instead of resetting.
Our offices in Porto and Lisbon aren't requirements — they're social hubs. We work hybrid by default, and we invest in a knowledge-sharing culture where good people make each other better.

Life at Advannor
What it's like to work here.
Open roles
Freedom to build. Trust to deliver.
It sounds good on a page — but here's what it actually looks like day to day: you're handed a real problem, not a script. You get to decide how you get there. And when you need backup, it's there, because trust runs both ways.
That's the kind of role we're hiring for. Browse what we're building right now across our teams and countries — and if nothing fits today, leave your CV and we'll reach out when something clicks.
How we hire
Real conversation, not guesswork.
We know that applying for a new role takes time, energy, and a bit of nerve — and we don't take that lightly. Our process exists for a simple reason: making the right match, in both directions, takes real conversation, not guesswork.
/ 01
Look us up
Before your first conversation with us, take a little time to look us up — our projects, the sectors we work in, what we're currently building. It'll help you ask sharper questions, and give us a better sense of what draws you to Advannor specifically.
/ 02
The conversations
Depending on the role, you'll go through a combination of: a conversation about how you work and how you'd fit into the team, a technical assessment, and a presentation of the project and client you'd be working with.
/ 03
Bring your stories
Come prepared to talk through real examples: a project you're proud of, a problem you had to untangle, a time you worked closely with others. We're less interested in a list of what you know, and more curious about the way you get there.
/ 04
Many voices, one team
You'll likely talk to a few different people from Advannor, each bringing a different piece of the picture: the projects we run, how we work day to day, what it feels like to be part of the team. This is also your chance to ask them anything.
