LEAG is a 7,000-person utility anchored in East German power generation, now rebalancing its portfolio away from coal toward renewables, battery storage, gas-fired capacity, and hydrogen development on reclaimed mine land. The engineering-focused hiring profile (43 open roles in engineering vs. ops and finance combined) and active project list around BESS, grid infrastructure, and renewable generation signal capital-intensive infrastructure execution. Stack shape—heavy on industrial design (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, MicroStation, Revit) and operational control (SAP, SCADA, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Oracle Primavera)—reflects management of large, distributed physical assets rather than software products.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Controlling
LEAG operates as East Germany's largest power producer and a diversified energy infrastructure company headquartered in Cottbus, Brandenburg. Beyond traditional generation, the company is building renewable energy plants on rehabilitated mine sites, battery and hydrogen storage capacity, grid-scale gas power, and energy trading services. A subsidiary workshop business handles rail maintenance and mechanical fabrication for external customers. The organization is also moving into circular economy, regional development, and real estate repositioning. All hiring is currently in Germany; velocity is decelerating.
LEAG uses SAP (MM, R/3, S/4HANA), Oracle Primavera, Microsoft 365, SCADA, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, MicroStation, and Bloomberg for operations, design, asset management, and energy trading.
Active projects include battery energy storage systems (BESS), combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants, grid infrastructure upgrades, renewable generation facilities, wind and solar installations, mine site remediation, and new landfill development.
