About the role
- You develop the strategic target network planning for the power networks (110 kV, 10 kV, 0.4 kV) and design the network topology.
- You plan the interconnections of assets such as local transformer stations, substations, pumping stations and heat transfer stations — with a focus on a smart and connected infrastructure.
- You continuously review and evaluate the networks and customers based on our network model with planned expansions or changes.
- Using state-of-the-art simulation and network calculation software, you create and update network models that serve as the basis for our strategic planning.
- You derive measures to make our power networks technically available and compliant with future regulations — from efficiency improvements to digital transformation.
- Your planning directly influences the design and expansion of our critical network infrastructure.
- You plan the strategic development of the data network — from traditional DFÜ and fiber optics (LWL) to redundant connections via 4G/LTE or the 450 MHz radio network and beyond.
Requirements
- You have a successfully completed degree, at least a Bachelor’s, in Electrical Engineering / Power Engineering or a comparable field.

- Interpreting laws, regulations and technical standards and integrating them professionally is not new to you.
- Familiarity with SAP or GIS is a plus — if not, no problem.
- You think visionary, are eager to help shape the energy world of tomorrow, and enjoy developing new concepts.
