• You define binding criteria for operational readiness within the framework of regulatory requirements, are responsible for operational readiness checks, and escalate critical deviations

• You ensure operational, maintenance, and safety concepts that can be certified according to ISO -27001 and KRITIS if necessary
• As deputy Local Cyber Security Officer, you ensure the NIS2 and ICT minimum standards of our plants together with the OT Manager

What you bring with you

• You have a higher technical education or a degree, preferably in electrical engineering, energy technology, mechanical engineering, or a comparable field
• You bring sound experience from the operation of electrical engineering plants, commissioning, or project management of complex technical plants; BESS knowledge is a plus

• You quickly grasp complex technical and organisational contexts and develop scalable, practical solutions from them
• With pronounced interface management, confident appearance, and assertiveness, you represent interests beyond organisational boundaries
