Working at Vattenfall

Who we are 

Vattenfall is one of Europe’s largest generators of electricity and the largest producer of heat. We have operations in several European countries. Our main products are electricity, heat and natural gas.

In electricity and heat, Vattenfall works in all parts of the value chain: generation, distribution and sales. In gas, Vattenfall is mainly active in sales. We are also engaged in energy trading and lignite mining. The Group has about 35,000 employees.

What it means to work for us

Working at Vattenfall means more than “just” having a challenging and interesting job. Here you will be part of a world where every day is likely to offer a new experience, also at an international level. You will be encouraged to take on individual responsibility, be empowered to unfold your talents and to contribute to a great vision: not only to provide society with energy but rather be among the leaders in developing environmentally sustainable energy production.

How we see it 

At Vattenfall, we recognise that the key to success is our people. To ensure that we constantly improve as a company, we invest in enhancing knowledge and skills among our employees.

We clearly define the skills we think our employees will need in the future. This allows our employees to take charge of their own professional and personal development, while ensuring that we have the competencies required in the ever-changing energy business.

Our managers must be able to manage both - people and business. Therefore, we provide our managers with customised management programmes, designed to develop our managers’ skills.
