Marianne’s New Career Opportunity in Tysvær

Marianne Jøssang has assumed the role of leader for strategy and business development at Haugaland Kraft, a position she began on February 1, 2026. Jøssang brings a background in strategic leadership and consultancy to the energy company, moving from a previous professional base in Stavanger.

The appointment marks a transition for Jøssang, who holds a master’s degree in strategy and leadership from the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). Her professional history includes experience in the consultancy industry in Oslo and six years in central roles at Lyse and Schibsted, via Stavanger Aftenblad.

Strategic Transition to Haugaland Kraft

The move to Tysvær was prompted by her husband’s long-term goal of taking over the family farm in Tysvær, which includes sheep and dairy cows. Jøssang originally moved to the area while on maternity leave with her youngest daughter.

Following the move, Jøssang initially prioritized establishing new home routines and maintaining a stable environment for her family of five, which led her to continue working remotely before seeking a local leadership position.

Jøssang expressed that she viewed the opportunity at Haugaland Kraft as a positive step, noting that the company plays an important role in society and provides value back to the community.

Regional Economic Context in Tysvær

The appointment occurs within a regional labor market in Tysvær, Rogaland, that shows a diverse range of technical and municipal requirements. Current employment trends in the area include a demand for specialized technical roles and public service staff.

Available technical opportunities in the Tysvær and Aksdal regions include:

• Data Center Technicians in Aksdal
• Computer Engineers at Hatteland Technology in Aksdal
• Electrical Engineers at Kårstø in Helgevold
• Technical Customer Guides at TESS Subsea as in Tysvær

The local economy also maintains a strong need for municipal services, with active recruitment for nursing staff in Nedstrand, kindergarten substitutes and various support contact roles (støttekontakt) within Tysvær kommune.

Jøssang’s transition from a high-profile corporate environment in Stavanger to a strategic leadership role in a regional utility company reflects a broader trend of professional migration toward smaller municipalities where specialized expertise in strategy and business development is utilized to drive local infrastructure and energy growth.
