Job description

E.ON Inhouse Consulting - Fixed Term

We are E.ON Inhouse Consulting - the trusted advisor to the top leadership of E.ON and one of the driving forces behind Europe's energy transition.

We work on the topics that matter most. From shaping the digital energy ecosystem and unlocking flexibility for millions of households to driving GenAI transformation and building smarter grids. Across 1.6 million kilometers of energy networks for 47 million customers. And we don't stop at strategy. We stay through implementation - side by side with senior leaders and frontline teams, turning ambition into action.

You'll take on responsibility and drive real change from day one. You'll grow fast through structured onboarding, continuous training, regular feedback, and direct exposure to top management - accelerating your path to leadership positions within consulting or across the entire E.ON Group. You'll be part of a culture where diverse perspectives and strong collaboration drive outstanding results. Where your ideas matter more than titles. Success is celebrated together, plus flexibility, well-being support, and competitive rewards enable you to thrive - professionally and personally.

If the collaboration proves to be a success for both sides, we’d be happy to welcome you back after your studies - this time not as an intern, but as a consultant.

• As a member of an international team, you will support our consultants - analyzing and working on the issues facing the energy sector and which specifically apply to our company
• Working hand-in-hand with your colleagues, you will develop strategic and operational solutions for E.ON
• You will derive recommendations for action and create presentations for the E.ON Inhouse Consulting management team
• Direct communication and cooperation with your customers round off a multifaceted assignment profile
  

What you'll need to succeed

• You are an outstanding academic performer with a background in Economics, Engineering, Natural Sciences, (Business) Informatics or a related field, currently pursuing a Master's or PhD degree or taking a gap year
• You have already gained some basic hands-on experience in the international arena, providing you with initial insights into the consulting sector and/or energy industry - experience with digital transformation is a plus
• You are fluent in English and German (C1)
• Apart from getting a buzz from the energy sector, you have an affinity for numbers and a pronounced capacity for analytic thinking
• You love to take on a challenge and are looking to push both your personal and professional development
• Your precise, structured communication skills let you win others over easily
