About the Job

Requirements

  • A master's degree in energy engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, mathematics, physics, or a comparable quantitative field is required.
  • At least five years of relevant professional experience in energy-system modeling, renewable energy, battery storage, or Power-to-X is required.
  • Demonstrated experience leading technical teams or workstreams is required.
  • Strong knowledge of energy-system simulation and mathematical optimization, particularly time-based modeling and capacity optimization, is required.
  • Practical proficiency in Python and experience reviewing and validating models and program code are required.
  • A good understanding of electricity markets, grid-connection conditions, marketing renewable energy, and the economic evaluation of energy systems using measures such as CAPEX, OPEX, NPV, and IRR is required.
  • Very good German and negotiation-level English are required.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, an independent and structured working style, and the ability to assert recommendations and collaborate across disciplines are required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the System Planning team both professionally and disciplinarily, and own goal-setting, prioritization, resource planning, and the individual development of team members.
  • Promote effective collaboration across teams through clear responsibilities, regular feedback, and continuous improvement of working practices and processes.
  • Oversee the development and quality assurance of databases, modeling standards, and methodological foundations for renewable energy, battery storage, electrolysis, and Power-to-X systems.
  • Perform techno-economic modeling and optimization of integrated energy systems involving wind, photovoltaics, battery storage, electrolysers, and hydrogen storage, and critically review the results.
  • Analyze and optimize hybrid energy projects and colocation concepts, including overbuilding, curtailment volumes, and prioritization of assets behind the grid connection point, considering technical, economic, and regulatory constraints.
  • Prepare modeling results as well-founded recommendations and decision-making materials, and coordinate with project development, grid planning, engineering, commercial, and finance teams.
  • Guide and manage system planning for international projects in Germany, South Africa, Namibia, and Spain, accounting for country-specific conditions.

Desired Qualifications

  • A doctorate is an advantage.
  • Knowledge of Matlab/Simulink or comparable simulation tools is an advantage.

About the Company

ENERTRAG SE

Develops, builds, operates hybrid wind-solar-hydrogen plants

Enertrag SE develops, builds, and operates integrated renewable energy projects in wind, solar, green hydrogen, and storage, functioning as an Independent Power Producer with long‑term asset ownership. Its Verbundkraftwerk concept links wind and solar with electrolyzers, battery storage, and grid infrastructure to provide on‑demand renewable energy, heat, and green hydrogen. It differentiates itself through end‑to‑end asset ownership, integrated systems that couple generation with storage and electrolysis, and a focus on scalable hydrogen solutions, including the world’s first hydrogen hybrid power plant in 2011. Its goal is to decarbonize energy‑intensive sectors by expanding renewable capacity and hydrogen infrastructure, pursuing multi‑gigawatt scale projects across Europe and beyond by 2030.
