Building automation and energy management for intelligent, sustainable facilities
Kieback&Peter is a legacy industrial automation manufacturer (founded 1927) shifting toward software-driven building intelligence. The tech stack reveals a hardware-centric legacy—BACnet, Modbus, KNX protocols dominate—but active projects around cloud solutions and building management system visualization signal a digital transition. Engineering represents two-thirds of the 163 open roles, with mid-level hiring, suggesting they're scaling implementation capacity rather than rebuilding their core platform.
Kieback&Peter designs building automation and energy management systems for large institutional and commercial properties. Their offering spans mechanical systems integration (HVAC, lighting, security), energy optimization software, and retrofit services for existing buildings. Based in Berlin and employing 1,001–5,000 people, they serve marquee European projects and operate primarily in Germany and Switzerland. Their stated focus is CO2 reduction and operational sustainability; most active work centers on modernizing aging building infrastructure and deploying cloud-connected management layers.
Primary protocols: BACnet, Modbus, and KNX. These sit alongside CAD, XML, and building management visualization tools. The stack reflects systems-integration work across legacy and new installations.
