Head of Asset Management (m/f/d)
Rheinfelden (DE) / Full-time / Up to 40% remote work / Permanent position
The energy transition is fundamentally changing the demands placed on our power grids. New generation facilities, storage systems, electric mobility, and heat pumps are being integrated into an existing grid infrastructure that must be operated reliably and cost-effectively while also undergoing continuous development.
Our Asset Management department provides an essential foundation for this: it combines an overview of our existing assets with the future development of our grids. Technical requirements, grid condition, risks, and future needs give rise to strategies, planning frameworks, and investment decisions. As a result, asset management plays a crucial role in determining where, when, and how we expand our grid and allocate our resources.
In the coming years, we aim to further strengthen this function and, in particular, to advance the synergy between asset management and grid planning. To this end, we are seeking an experienced leader who combines technical expertise, strategic vision, and a passion for leadership and professional development.
You are the grid.
At naturenergie netze, you ensure that our infrastructure remains stable, safe, and future-proof. Whether in operations, business management, or strategic planning: Your work lays the foundation for ensuring that energy reaches the region reliably.
You’ve come to the right place at naturenergie netze,
… if you want to take on responsibility and really make a difference.
… if you have a knack for the big picture, structure, and strategic thinking—and enjoy simplifying complex issues.
… if you enjoy working in a team and want to help shape processes.
