About the role

  • You develop the strategic target network planning for power grids (110‑kV, 10‑kV, 0.4‑kV) and shape the network topology.
  • You plan the interconnections of assets such as local substations, transformer stations, pumping stations and heat transfer stations — with a focus on a smart, interconnected infrastructure.
  • You continuously review and assess the networks and connected customers based on our network model with extensions or changes.
  • Using state‑of‑the‑art simulation and network calculation software, you create and update network models that form the basis for our strategic planning.
  • You derive measures to keep our power networks technically available and regulatory‑compliant 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 traditional remote data communication (DFÜ) and fiber optic (LWL) to redundant connections via 4G/LTE or 450‑MHz radio networks 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 PowerFactory — if not, you will learn it with us!
  • Interpreting laws, regulations and technical standards and incorporating them into your work is familiar to you.
  • Knowledge of SAP or GIS is a plus — if not, no problem.
  • You think visionarily, are eager to help shape the energy world of tomorrow, and enjoy developing new concepts.
