SWU is a municipally-owned utility operator in Baden-Württemberg supplying electricity, heating, broadband, and public transport to Ulm, Neu-Ulm, and surrounding regions. The tech stack (Python, SAP IS-U, SQL, Docker) and active project portfolio reveal a utility in mid-transformation: PV forecasting models, geothermal feasibility studies, and digital sales system rollouts are underway, while pain points cluster around operational standardization (IT process governance, document management) and renewable energy risk assessment—typical of a traditional utility navigating the energy transition.
SWU serves over 200,000 customers across four utility segments: electricity, district heating, broadband internet, and public transportation. The organization operates with approximately 1,200 staff and 60 trainees, structured across engineering, operations, data, finance, and construction functions. Current focus areas include solar forecasting optimization, geothermal resource evaluation, digital sales platform modernization, and smart energy procurement applications. The company is actively hiring across Germany, with engineering and operations roles driving recruitment velocity.
