Safe Construction Sites Lead to Better Projects

In May, Viktoria Gierukas joined Head Energy PA as the new HSE Coordinator. With a background from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and a master’s degree in societal safety, she brings valuable expertise to the company’s ongoing commitment to health, safety, and the working environment (HSE).

– We’ve experienced a growing need for HSE expertise within project management — both through client requests and in our own projects. With Viktoria on board, we’re strengthening our capacity to deliver high-quality safety management across all assignments, says Bengt Frantzen, Managing Director at Head Energy PA.

– Aligned with the Head Energy Group’s overall ambition, we are fully committed to achieving zero injuries and serious incidents on our construction sites. This is about creating and maintaining safe working conditions for everyone, while ensuring predictability and stability for our clients and suppliers. When we prevent accidents, we also prevent costly delays and disruptions. Clear procedures, accessible information, and well-trained people simply make for better projects, Frantzen adds.

Bringing Valuable Experience to the Team

Viktoria brings extensive experience from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, where she was responsible for tunnel safety between Southern Norway and Bergen. As Fire Safety Manager, she worked closely with emergency preparedness, risk assessments, and safe operations in technically complex environments.

Her academic background — a master’s degree in societal safety — combined with hands-on experience from both engineering design and operations, gives her a strong balance of analytical expertise and practical understanding.

– Having Viktoria join our team is a great advantage. She brings valuable knowledge in emergency planning, risk management, and safety analysis, which will benefit both our internal projects and our clients, says Kjell Magne Ommedal, Head of HSE at Head Energy PA.
