We are looking for an exhibition technician
Bergen Kunsthall is a centre for contemporary art presenting exhibitions and events with international and Norwegian artists. The institution was founded as Bergens Kunstforening in 1838 and has occupied its own building in the heart of Bergen since 1935. In 2025 we welcomed around 87,000 visitors to five exhibitions and 166 events. Every year Bergen Kunsthall produces the Festival Exhibition, which has its roots in 1953 and is regarded as one of the most important solo exhibitions in Norway.

About the role
The main duties are installing and de-installing exhibitions. This includes safe and responsible art handling, building constructions, and working with AV technology. As an exhibition technician you will work as part of a team. We normally have four installation periods a year, each lasting three to four weeks. The work is physical and involves working at height, and you must be able to lift and move heavy objects.

We would like you to have:

  • experience in art handling or other work with art
  • experience in building constructions and AV technology
  • knowledge and a good understanding of health, safety, and environment (HSE)

It is an advantage if you have:

  • relevant certificates, such as working at height, lift operation, or similar
  • a class B driving licence
  • carpentry or other exhibition-related skills

We are looking for someone who:

  • enjoys a busy pace, and is attentive and precise in their work
  • likes working in a team, takes initiative, and can work independently

It is important to Bergen Kunsthall that our workplace reflects the diversity of society, and we welcome qualified applicants of different ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. We want colleagues with a range of skills, disciplinary backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives who can help us work even better.

What we offer
Bergen Kunsthall offers a challenging position in an inclusive and flexible workplace with dedicated colleagues. We are a creative environment in central, striking premises by Lille Lungegårdsvann in Bergen.
