Regional electricity, gas, and water distribution operator across Baden-Württemberg
Netze BW operates critical infrastructure for 2.37 million power customers and 240,000 gas customers across nearly 100,000 km of distribution networks in Baden-Württemberg. The tech stack reflects a mixed-maturity utility: enterprise SAP + Office backbone paired with emerging low-code (Power Apps, Power Automate) and data tools (Power BI, Python, Palantir Foundry). Hiring is heavily intern-weighted (33 of 51 roles), concentrated in engineering, signaling either onboarding cycles for infrastructure expansion or tooling modernization gaps requiring junior labor.
