Engineering planning for renewable energy systems and building automation
SCHNEPF is a 40+ year-old planning firm designing energy systems and building controls across Germany, with a focus on renewable integration and grid connectivity. Their tech stack—BACnet, Modbus, KNX, BIM, AutoCAD, Revit, ETAP, PowerFactory—reflects deep embedded systems and electrical infrastructure work, not software development. The hiring mix is entirely engineering-focused (14 mid-level engineers, 2 managers, 1 junior), with steady demand for design and integration work on wind, PV, and battery storage projects.
SCHNEPF Planungsgruppe develops energy concepts and building systems engineering for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients in Germany. Founded in 1981 and based in Nagold, Baden-Württemberg, the firm operates across three core domains: technical building systems (HVAC, controls, electrical), renewable energy grid integration (wind, solar, battery storage), and energy consulting and optimization. Projects span detailed design of high-voltage systems, control strategy optimization, and end-to-end delivery from concept through commissioning. The workforce of 51–200 employees is concentrated in engineering disciplines required for design and site delivery.
Core tools include BACnet, Modbus, and KNX for building automation; BIM, AutoCAD, and Revit for design; ETAP and PowerFactory for electrical systems modeling and simulation.
