Norway is in the EEA (European Economic Area), which has the same right of freedom of movement as the European Union.
Any EU or EEA citizen can move to any other EU or EEA country, find a job within X months (6 in the case of Norway), or meet the requirement some other way (be a student, be a partner or child of a worker/student, or have enough money) and then stay.
For the ordinary case of an EU/EEA person moving to Norway to start a job, they simply need to register as resident (fill in a short form and show the job contract and their passport) at the local police station.
