Student trainee in the field of data management and monitoring engineering

Free drinks Part-time Hybrid working in Berlin Company description

Heat and energy are our contribution to quality of life – every single day.

As BEW Berliner Energie und Wärme GmbH, we supply our customers with electricity and heat. Our district heating network, with a length of more than 2,000 kilometers, is the largest in Western Europe. We supply approximately one-third of Berlin's apartments with district heating.

With the expertise of our approximately 2,400 employees, we cover the entire district heating value chain – from generation and network operation and expansion to distribution. At the same time, we are working intensively on phasing out coal by 2030 and achieving climate-neutral* heat generation from 2045 onwards.

To achieve this goal, we will gradually increase the share of renewable energies and unavoidable waste heat** in our district heating system. This expansion requires a fundamental transformation of many of our sites and facilities. For this challenge and the associated tasks, we need people who are fully committed to our shared goal of a local energy transition – people like you.

BEW Berliner Energie und Wärme GmbH is looking for a working student in the field of data management and monitoring engineering at the Berlin location as soon as possible .

The Monitoring Performance and Technology department monitors the condition, performance, and efficiency of energy generation plants and supports operation and maintenance with data-driven technical assessments. For this purpose, operational and condition data are collected, processed, analyzed, and made available for use in monitoring models, dashboards, and reports.

Our existing monitoring solutions require continuous maintenance, review, and adaptation to changes in the systems, measuring points, and data structures. For these operationally important tasks, we are seeking support with technical understanding, meticulousness, and an interest in energy-related data.
