Engineer for Strategic Network Planning ensuring reliable energy supply for Potsdam. Focusing on the strategic network planning for power grids and smart infrastructures.
Responsibilities
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.
