Are you looking to make a real impact?

Hydro Energy has more than 100 years of experience in production of renewable energy. Today, we are one of the three largest operators of hydropower production in Norway and a large power market player in the Nordic region and Brazil. We are responsible for developing new business opportunities for Hydro within both renewable energy, hydrogen and batteries, and we provide support to the rest of Hydro's business areas on contracts, security of supply and energy framework conditions.

With a rich history exceeding a century in renewable energy, Hydro Energy stands as a top hydropower producer in Norway and a significant player in the Nordic and Brazilian power markets.

We're actively diversifying into emerging energy sectors, including hydrogen and batteries, and supporting Hydro's broader objectives in energy related matters. In response to our expanding energy focus, we've launched new units (Batteries, Hydro Rein, and Hydro Havrand) and are enhancing our energy technology unit.

Hydro Energy technology team is a part of the Energy Strategy & Policy unit. The unit is working as a support function towards the rest of Hydro Energy on energy policy, market analysis, strategy, technology and sustainability topics. The unit hosts its own long term power market model closely aligned with the technology work.

We are now looking for a resource with experience and good knowledge of the renewable energy sector, associated technologies, and insight into their future development. You will be able to quickly identify and understand trends in the energy transition and be able to communicate and frame these in a way that is relevant for Hydro.

You will be expected to contribute to technology monitoring activities and the development and presentation of analysis for Energy's and Hydro's management.

You will have a good understanding of a broad range of current and emerging energy and decarbonization related technologies.
