About the role
- Drive regional energy performance improvement initiatives with clear objectives on energy intensity, cost reduction, and Scope 1 & 2 CO₂ emissions.
- Translate corporate energy and decarbonization targets into practical, engineering-based site action plans.
- Identify, prioritize, and deploy energy efficiency levers focused on utilities, fuels, electricity, and energy-intensive processes.
- Ensure CO₂ reductions are achieved through measurable energy performance improvements, not through offsets or non-technical mechanisms.
- Design, implement, and maintain energy management processes and procedures to ensure disciplined and consistent execution across sites.
- Define and deploy operational energy and CO₂ KPIs (consumption, efficiency, cost, emissions, savings).
- Ensure reliable data collection, validation, and analysis of energy and emissions data, with a strong focus on accuracy and operational relevance.
- Track initiatives, validate savings and CO₂ impact, and report performance against defined targets.
- Lead or coordinate technical energy audits covering utilities, energy distribution, and energy-intensive processes.
- Define prioritized improvement roadmaps with quantified energy savings, CO₂ impact, CAPEX/OPEX, and payback.
- Guide and technically challenge external engineering or consulting partners when required.
- Ensure governance and follow-up to confirm implementation and realization of benefits.
- Act as a technical reference for sites on energy performance and energy management topics.
- Develop site capabilities by coaching local energy, maintenance, and process experts on energy efficiency methodologies and standards.
- Support plants in resolving complex energy-related issues impacting cost, reliability, or performance, without taking an operational ownership role.
- Coordinate regional energy initiatives in close collaboration with Operations CoE, Purchasing, and plant management.
- Deploy standardized tools, methodologies, and best practices across all sites.
- Monitor developments in industrial energy technologies and energy-related regulations, strictly from an operational and compliance standpoint.
Requirements

- Proven ability to deliver measurable energy and cost savings in multi-site industrial environments
- Solid experience in energy management frameworks and structured improvement programs.
- Strong analytical and data-driven mindset, focused on results and performance tracking.
- Ability to influence and drive action in a matrix organization without direct operational authority.
- Practical understanding of CAPEX justification, ROI, and payback calculations.
- Ability to structure and deliver operational training for site and hub managers.
- Comfortable interacting with both shop-floor experts and senior management.
- Engineering degree or equivalent technical background.
- Minimum 7 years of experience in industrial energy management, process engineering or related technical functions within a global industrial group.
- ISO 50001 experience (nice to have)
- Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (nice to have)
- English: professional or native proficiency., another European language is a plus.
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Flexible work arrangements
- Professional development opportunities
