Description
The international accredited registrar and classification society DNV GL announced that it will create 100 new jobs at its global shared services centre in Gdynia, Poland. The recruitment process has already started; the company is looking for IT specialists, business analysts, accounting, tax and financial specialists. The new employees will work on standardisation, automation and streamlining projects.
DNV GL, headquartered in Norway, is the world’s largest classification company; it is also the largest technical consultancy and supervisory to the global renewable energy and oil and gas industry. It was created in 2013 as a result of a merger between two leading organizations in the field — Det Norske Veritas (Norway) and Germanischer Lloyd (Germany). The company employs about 14,500 employees in 350 offices operating in more than 100 countries worldwide. The centre in Gdynia has been operating since 2016 providing back-office services, including HR, finance, IT, real management & procurement, for the company’s units.
