German-Swiss utility operator scaling renewable energy and grid infrastructure
naturenergie operates power distribution networks and renewable energy infrastructure across the German-Swiss border region, with a tech footprint dominated by SAP enterprise systems (S/4HANA, IS-U, MM, FI) alongside Microsoft cloud (Azure, Power Platform). The hiring mix—weighted toward engineering and finance roles, with concurrent governance and architecture work on Power Platform—signals active investment in both grid modernization and digital process automation. Current pain points center on legacy digitalization, SAP integration complexity, and data quality in finance, typical of mid-sized utilities mid-transformation.
naturenergie hochrhein AG, part of the naturenergie holding AG (a German-Swiss public company), operates as a regional utility serving Baden-Württemberg and Switzerland. The group manages its own electrical distribution grids and offers an integrated product portfolio spanning photovoltaics, heating systems, electric-vehicle charging, and residential development. The parent holding employs over 1,340 staff across four subsidiary entities: naturenergie hochrhein AG, naturenergie netze GmbH, enalpin AG, and tritec AG. Operations are headquartered in Rheinfelden (Baden).
Primary systems: SAP S/4HANA, SAP IS-U (utilities), SAP MM (materials management), SAP FI (finance), plus Microsoft 365, Azure, and Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI) for custom applications and reporting.
Active projects include heat business expansion (ausbau des wärmegeschäftes), SAP contract management development, Power Platform governance architecture, change-stream implementation, and KPI monitoring systems.
