RWE is a 125-year-old German utility in active transition from coal to renewables, now deploying capital across offshore wind farms, onshore projects, solar, and battery storage. The hiring profile reveals heavy engineering and operations focus (128 and 93 roles respectively, with accelerating velocity across 10 countries) aligned to concrete project work: Thor offshore wind farm, onshore preconstruction, e-bop design, and GIS roadmap development. Tech stack mixes legacy industrial controls (SCADA, Siemens, PowerFactory, PSCAD) with modern data platforms (Databricks, Tableau, SAP S/4HANA) and emerging cloud tools (GIS adoption, Teams migration), typical of utilities bridging operational technology and IT infrastructure.
RWE generates and trades energy across almost 30 countries, employing around 20,000 people. The company has committed to phase out coal by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2040, with billions invested annually in wind (both offshore and onshore), solar, and battery capacity. Beyond generation, RWE operates a global energy trading desk and manages grid-scale infrastructure including aging nuclear assets being decommissioned. Current project portfolio spans major capital-intensive builds (Thor offshore wind farm), equipment lifecycle management (major component replacement), grid modernization (GIS roadmap, electrical balance of plant design), and operational resilience (incident response planning, HSSE performance improvements).
RWE generates renewable energy (offshore and onshore wind, solar, batteries) and operates global energy trading, serving markets across almost 30 countries with ~20,000 employees.
RWE is based in Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and is a publicly traded company founded in 1898.
