Job description

Overview

We bring together engineering expertise, clever digital tools, and strong collaboration with power plant teams to catch problems before they turn into full-scale engineering plot twists – because no one wants a turbine stealing the show with an unscheduled woe. With techniques like anomaly detection and vibration analysis, we "listen" to machines – because sometimes they grumble, rattle, or hum in ways that absolutely should not be ignored. By working closely with engineers and operators, we help keep Uniper’s assets running reliably and efficiently, all while supporting the transition to a Net‑Zero future – preferably with fewer unexpected sound effects.
