Swiss utility managing hydroelectric generation, distribution, and renewable energy infrastructure
Groupe E operates Switzerland's electrical and thermal infrastructure across generation, distribution, and related services. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward infrastructure design and asset management—Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, QGIS, and Navisworks dominate, paired with SAP ISU for utility-specific operations and Dynamics 365 Finance. Engineering hiring (38 roles) far outpaces all other departments, reflecting active maintenance and rehabilitation of hydroelectric assets alongside smart-grid and public-lighting projects. Cost and margin optimization surface repeatedly in operational pain points, suggesting pressure to improve project execution efficiency.
