Erik Haugan is an experienced engineering manager and leader based in Oslo with over a decade driving complex automation and subsea control system projects. Currently an Engineering Manager at Oda and formerly Head of Section in ABB’s Automation Service, he blends hands-on systems engineering with people leadership to build learning organizations and continuous improvement cultures. His background in engineering cybernetics and long track record on high-stakes oil and gas control systems (Snøhvit, Goliat, Svalin, Aasta Hansteen) gives him deep domain expertise in safety-critical software and control systems. Equally comfortable in technical authority and project leadership roles, he’s known for translating complex requirements into reliable, operable solutions while mentoring teams to raise delivery standards. An early adopter of unconventional tools—he once programmed in Lisp for a pioneering online broker—he brings both curiosity and pragmatic engineering discipline to product and process challenges.
