About the role

Strategic Network Planner for power grids at Stadtwerke Potsdam, focusing on future energy supply and network optimization. Developing strategic concepts for power network expansion and smart infrastructure.

Responsibilities

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.

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.
