IT and Technology

Want to make a difference with the technology of the future?

At Telenor you will not just be helping to build advanced platforms, design infrastructure and ensure that our data is used correctly and competitively. Working with IT and technology at Telenor is far more than that.

We are currently undertaking the biggest network modernisation in our history. By switching off the 2G and 3G networks, rolling out 5G, and improving the 4G network for the next many years to come. At the same time, we face the greatest digital transformation ever seen. AI, cloud and data are changing how we think, take decisions and achieve our goals.

As an engineer, analyst, computer scientist, technician, architect or developer at Telenor, you’ll always be at the cutting edge of new technology. Together we resolve complex challenges that bring us closer to a more connected and interconnected society. Are you ready for the journey?

We care just as much about smooth rush-hour traffic flows as we do about super-fast 5G

Your role at Telenor may include developing IoT services, transforming our digital infrastructure and rolling out 5G at a new location. But when you turn on your computer to start your working day, there is always a bigger purpose, as you are fulfilling our mission to empower society. Together, we facilitate everything from everyday phone calls, to safeguarding vital connectivity and ensuring that emergency services function as they should.

If there is an accident on the E4 northbound, during rush hour, our mobile network connects the alarm call to the emergency services. Thanks to new 5G technology, the emergency teams can use a remote controlled drone to scan the accident site, and quickly secure the area. And when Lotta, who is stuck in the traffic jam, needs to find a new route to preschool, the smart map app on her mobile phone helps her to pick up her child in time.

 

 

Development is on our everyday agenda

If you want to try out a new role, or learn a new programming language, you have every opportunity. Because together, we plan your development course. 40 hours per year should be set aside for that course you've had your eye on, or to practice, practice, practice whatever you want to improve at.

Behind our super-fast network are Malina, Asad, Andreas and Sara

"Working smartly with AI presents a big competitive advantage"

I head a team that works with data and artificial intelligence. This might be designing a strategy to maximise opportunities with AI, transform our digital infrastructure, and identify areas within the company where we can work smarter, and be more data-driven. The aim is to maximise customer value and help us make smarter decisions.

The digital transformation is happening right now. Early AI adaptors can make smart use of this technology and achieve a competitive edge. Using data to drive innovation and create the products our customers demand is important for us to stay relevant.

Asad, Responsible for data and AI

"Today, most people have access to 5G and the expansion is continuing"

I'm responsible for 5G being rolled out as planned. I've worked in the telecom industry since the first 1G network standard at the end of the 1980s. I've witnessed the development from the introduction of mobile phones, to the spread of social media, and to being able to stream your favourite series while attesting invoices on the jetty near your summer cottage.

Everyone needs to have the opportunity to communicate and be part of the world around us, wherever we are. The mobile network makes this possible. Today, most Swedes have access to 5G, and this expansion is continuing.

”I'm helping to ensure safe self-driving vehicles in Swedish urban environments"

I work with advanced 5G services, building a robust and reliable 5G infrastructure for the whole of society. This entails understanding innovative new solutions, keeping track of rules, understanding customers' expectations and calculating market potential and investments. Right now, I'm involved in facilitating the next steps for safe self-driving vehicles in Swedish urban environments.

With 5G, telecom is a combination of cloud operator and network supplier. No other sector has such great potential to drive the new technology that is also so challenging to achieve. The combination makes every working day exciting and worthwhile.

”I make sure cyberthreats remain just a threat, and not a reality"

As security manager, I safeguard integrity and security in our business – which can be anything from physical security to IT security. In today's ever more digitalised world, it's vital to protect the integrity of both the business and our customers, so that cyberthreats remain just a threat, and don't become a reality.

I’ve stayed with Telenor for over 20 years, thanks to our culture and dedication to being at the forefront when it comes to security. Staying updated on various threats while balancing security measures with user-friendliness and accessibility is a difficult balancing act – and also an exciting and interesting challenge.
