Electrical Engineer (m/f/d)

We see ourselves not only as an environmental company, but above all as a service provider for the citizens and guests of our city.
Our mission “We make Solingen clean, green and smart” can only be achieved with our employees. Our approximately 900 employees are responsible for municipal waste disposal, city cleanliness and winter services, electricity generation, communication networks, urban greenery and cemeteries, as well as civil engineering and transport infrastructure.
The waste-to-energy plant (MHKW) of Technische Betriebe Solingen was put into operation in 1969. The power plant generates 70 million KWh of electricity and 45 million KWh of district heating per year – an important energy generation plant in the heart of the Bergisch city of Solingen. A total of around 60 employees work in administration, production, maintenance and control.
Each of them has an important and meaningful job. Our values – open, courageous, reliable, energetic and cost-conscious – characterize our actions. Our employees and their expertise are as colorful and diverse as our tasks. Be a part of it!
