Technical Management Position at a Regional Energy Utility
In this leadership role, you will oversee technical asset management and, together with a highly qualified team, be responsible for ensuring that the hydraulic supply networks are designed to be efficient and sustainable. Specifically, this means: You will develop viable concepts for the renewal and expansion of the existing network infrastructure, plan medium- and long-term budget and maintenance requirements, and coordinate regularly with all relevant departments (Regulation, Controlling, Network Management), project management, and divisional leadership. As the central point of contact, you also set the direction, actively participate in committees, collaborate with the association of regional energy utilities, and engage in university partnerships to drive the development of new network concepts and strategies in the “hydraulics” sector. In addition, technical reporting to shareholders, regulatory authorities, and industry associations falls directly under your responsibility.

We require expertise in multi-stakeholder management and in leading your own teams, as well as in-depth knowledge of hydraulic networks and the broader energy industry landscape. You should also be proficient in using digital tools. On a personal level, you stand out through your analytical expertise, leadership skills, and the ability to rally people from different fields toward shared goals. You communicate confidently and effectively at all levels, combine assertiveness with the ability to bring people together, and demonstrate a strong drive to shape and implement solutions.
