Energy Industry Specialist – Focus on Smart Metering Systems (f/m/d)
The energy sector is changing rapidly: Conventional meters will soon be a thing of the past—smart metering systems (iMSys) are taking over. Highly encrypted, networked, and—in the future—even capable of controlling systems. To ensure these systems run reliably, we need people who understand how the technology behind them works and how the processes interact. This is exactly where you come in.
Your Responsibilities
- As an Energy Industry Specialist—Focus on Smart Metering Systems—you’ll ensure that our smart metering systems do what they’re supposed to: measure accurately, communicate securely, and be processed seamlessly within our systems.
- Develop and optimize system processes for smart metering systems by defining workflows in the SAP environment, identifying opportunities for optimization, providing clear and precise guidance to IT service providers, and approving new developments from a technical perspective.
- Identify, analyze, and permanently resolve errors: You investigate why a process is failing, document errors in detail, create support tickets, and escalate issues as needed. Your goal: to ensure that systematic errors no longer occur in the future.
- Monitoring the operation of smart metering systems: You set up smart metering systems in SAP and monitor their ongoing operation. You ensure that meter readings are received completely, plausibly, and correctly in the energy data management system and continue to develop our monitoring capabilities.
