Join Europe’s renewable energy transformation. Rivers power homes and industries, and hydropower keeps the continent in balance. With 90+ plants, our teams deliver reliable, clean energy to millions. Hydropower stabilizes the grid, prevents blackouts, and we actively work to strengthen biodiversity in the areas where we operate - a foundation of a future powered by renewables.
Your impact
You’ll be part of a mission to maximize the efficiency and sustainability of our hydropower plants. Your expertise will help develop and implement innovative technologies, optimize operations, and strengthen environmental protection. You’ll tackle technical challenges, drive continuous improvement, and contribute to major projects in energy storage, grid stability, and ecological restoration.
Why join us
Your work here truly matters. We offer meaningful projects that accelerate the energy transition, a collaborative and supportive team culture, and attractive employment conditions. You’ll have the chance to grow personally and professionally while working with cutting-edge technologies. You don’t just take on a job you take on a purpose: creating a sustainable future for generations to come.
Our commitment to nature
Hydropower produces virtually no emissions during operation. We continuously invest in environmental measures, such as restoring river habitats, improving fish migration, and developing low-carbon construction materials. Our goal is to maximize ecological benefits while maintaining reliable energy production.
