Meet system developer Truls
If you think that the technologists at Avinor only deal with old-fashioned software and operations, you need to read on. Here are Truls Stephensen's three good reasons to work with technology with us.
Truls works as a system developer at Avinor. A typical workday consists of a lot of coding, but also a good dose of problem solving. Truls thinks it is extra fun that he gets the opportunity to work with many large and advanced systems.
"We mainly do development, not operations. There is a lot of variety, and many cool systems. I work with both the user interface that customs officers use on Domestic Transport, CDM (Collaborative Decision Making) – a system for decision-making cooperation between toes and the actors at the airport, as well as IRIS, which is a system for runwayinformation.
For a front-end developer, the user experience is especially important. Truls likes to do user tests, where he observes systems in use; how users work in the system and what challenges they encounter.
“"During user tests, it is very exciting to see if the users understand the design and layout we have created. When we work with systems that will be rolled out at all Norwegian airports, it is absolutely necessary that it works well.”

Testing at the airport
Truls has only worked at Avinor for one year, but has already been involved in many interesting projects. One of them is to further develop the user interface for Domestic Transfer, which is a system customs use when passengers land at Oslo Airport, and will continue with domestic flights. In simple terms , the system provides customs officers with a compilation of data, which means that transfer passengers can go straight to the new gate, without checking in their luggage again.
"It's quite fun when we introduce new functionality in that system. Since we don't have a spare baggage facility, we have to test the system in production, and we have to go out to the airport and do it physically. when the airport is closed," says Truls.
Proud of the job
Truls has always liked to do programming, and he is also hereditarily burdened when it comes to the combination of aviation and technology. Dad works with tower systems, and knows Avinor well.
"I knew that it was exciting to work with aviation, but it was a bit of a coincidence that I applied for a job at Avinor. Now I thinkit's very nice that my dad and I work in different parts of aviation," smiles Truls.
He does not hide the fact that he is proud to be at Oslo Airport, when he sees how well both the systems and services work.
"It's almost impossible not to be. It's so cool to see how efficientour airports are, compared to so many other countries.
4 good reasons to work with technology at Avinor
Develop new systems and adopt new technology
In our team, we are encouraged to explore new technology, and if it works, we can implement it. It is professionally exciting that we have so many systems that we can work with and delve into.
Work with systems that are found at 43 airports
These systems are important for a lot of people. And it's not just the passengers who are users of the systems; it's also the customs officers, APOC (Airport Operations Center), and those working in the tower – to name a few. There are many who need our systems, and that is very motivating.
Good work environment
We are a very good team, where everyone helps each other. Here, recent graduates can also contribute solutions on an equal footing with those who have worked here for a long time. I feel that my skills are appreciated. In addition, we are good at doing social activities together, like payday drinks, dining out, going on cabin trips, and gaming together.
Contribute to the future of aviation
Our technology environment helps shape solutions that make airports more sustainable, efficient, and safe. With us, you don't just get to work on today's challenges – you get to be part of developing technology for the future of travel.
