Our people
Our employees are our most valuable asset. Although VARD has experienced its fair share of transformation, we have stayed the course and remained steadfast in our core values of Craftsmanship, Fellowship and Salesmanship. These values we find in all our employees.
Through VARDs history we have experienced several changes in our core markets, the downturns have been met with unique strategies and we have emerged stronger and more robust than before. Our success serve as testament to the dedication of our people across the company, from the naval architects in our design centre in Norway to steel workers, pipe fitters and electricians in Vietnam, from engineers in Romania to our young apprentices in the yards in Norway.
Notwithstanding the complexity of our global presence across eight yards in three continents, we remain indebted to our strong traditions and heritage, to which we owe our solid foundation and future opportunities. Indeed, we have come a long way from what began as a builder of fishing vessels for the needs of the local community to what is today one of the world’s major designers and shipbuilders of advanced and complex offshore and specialized vessels.
Diversity
We are a global company with employees spread over large parts of the world with diverse cultures, languages and backgrounds. Different perspectives increase values because we find better solutions together.
Vard Academy
Our people`s skills are the core of our success and therefore we focus on competence development through leadership programs and courses.
Vard Social
Vard Social is an initiative designed to bring colleagues together across locations and disciplines, promoting a culture of collaboration and camaraderie. Through a variety of events and activities, employees have the opportunity to get to know each other in an informal setting, fostering stronger relationships and a supportive working environment.
