Austrian energy utility with renewable generation and multi-country operations
Energie Steiermark is a public regional energy utility based in Graz serving ~600k customers across Austria and five neighboring countries. The company operates 29 major sites in Steiermark and generates exclusively from renewables (hydro, wind, solar, biomass). Current hiring velocity is accelerating with engineering roles leading the portfolio — a pattern consistent with active infrastructure projects in smart metering, line construction, and automation of back-office workflows like invoice verification and bank document booking.
Energie Steiermark delivers electricity, gas, heat, hydrogen, broadband, and mobility services across Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Germany, and France. The company employs ~2,200 people and maintains 29 operational bases in its home region of Steiermark, plus a sales office in Vienna and minority stakes in related enterprises. Core operations include renewable energy generation (water, wind, solar, biomass), network infrastructure maintenance, and service delivery to residential and commercial customers. The organization is owned by the State of Styria (Land Steiermark), positioning it as a quasi-public incumbent utility.
Core stack is Microsoft enterprise suite (Office, Teams, Outlook, Project, Visio) plus Cisco networking, Checkpoint security, SAP ERP, SQL databases, and Linux systems. C# is used for custom development.
Active initiatives include smart metering deployment, line construction and maintenance (Leitungsbau), network operations (Trassenpflege), customer connection projects, invoice and accounting automation, and bank document integration for energy trading.
