Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Karl Vegard Blindheim as a new partner and Customer & Consultant Manager at NECON. With over 25 years of industry experience, he brings strong market knowledge, solid technological insight, and a deep passion for both people and profession.
– I enjoy working with people who are responsible and genuinely care about what they do. It’s important to me that the job is taken seriously and that you’re in an environment where there’s room to do things properly. That’s the impression I’ve gotten of NECON – and I’m really looking forward to becoming a part of it, says Blindheim.
Blindheim knows the industry well – and he has had a positive impression of NECON for quite some time.
– NECON has a strong reputation in the market, and I’ve long had a feeling that something exciting is happening there. It’s a company with a clear brand identity and an organization that represents real expertise. That really appeals to me.
He highlights NECON’s current phase of development as one of the key reasons for taking the leap:
– There’s a lot happening in and around NECON. New opportunities, new services, and a clear focus on development. I strongly believe NECON will remain a respected name in technical consulting for years to come – and I want to help shape that journey, says the Sunnmøre native.
Blindheim will work closely with both existing and new clients – especially within the oil and gas sector, but also in other industries requiring engineering expertise.
– With his solid multidisciplinary understanding and knowledge of project-based organizations, he will provide valuable input in both advisory and competence-matching roles. His extensive experience makes him a key contributor to both clients and consultants, says Erling Oftedal, Business Unit Manager, NECON Energy Bergen.
Blindheim describes himself as a relationship-builder and advisor who isn’t afraid to challenge the client – in a constructive way.
– I like asking questions – especially the ones that haven’t been asked yet. Many leaders tend to look for someone just like themselves, but maybe what they really need is something different? That’s where it helps to have someone to bounce ideas off and explore new perspectives.
Blindheim brings with him a wealth of experience, a strong professional network, and a sincere desire to contribute. At the same time, he’s eager to learn more – especially about NECON’s innovation projects.
– I see a strong culture of collaboration at NECON, and I admire their willingness to think differently. There’s a lot of exciting stuff going on, and I’m excited to help build on that. I’m truly looking forward to being a part of it all.
