Renewable electricity producer and grid operator in French-speaking Switzerland
Romande Energie is the largest utility in French-speaking Switzerland, operating generation, distribution, and retail electricity services across the region. The tech stack reveals a traditional utility footprint—Schneider Electric, PLC, BACnet, KNX, Modbus for grid automation and building controls, paired with SAP for ERP and AutoCAD/Revit/BIM for infrastructure planning. Current hiring is engineering-heavy (11 of 19 open roles), clustered at mid and senior levels, suggesting active work on hydro asset management, new installations, and fiber-optic infrastructure projects. Pain points center on downtime optimization and asset performance—typical concerns for utilities managing aging or scaled infrastructure.
