About the role

  • You develop the strategic target network planning for the power grids (110 kV, 10 kV, 0.4 kV) and design the network topology.
  • You plan the interconnections of assets such as local distribution substations, transformer substations, pumping stations and heat transfer stations — with a focus on a smart, interconnected infrastructure.
  • You continuously review and evaluate the networks and connection points based on our network model with planned extensions or changes.
  • Using state-of-the-art power system simulation and network analysis software, you create and update network models that form the basis of our strategic planning.
  • You derive measures to keep our power grids technically reliable and compliant with regulatory requirements for the future — 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 classic data transmission (DFÜ), fiber-optic (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, Energy Engineering or a comparable field.
  • Ideally, you have experience with the construction or operation of power distribution networks and have worked with network calculation tools such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory — if not, you will learn it with us!
  • Interpreting laws, regulations and technical standards and incorporating them into your work is not new to you.
  • Knowledge of SAP or GIS is a plus — if you don’t have it, no problem.
  • You think visionarily, are eager to help shape the energy world of tomorrow, and enjoy developing new concepts.
