The business unit Energy Management is responsible for optimising the value of Statkraft’s hydropower assets. Energy Management has more than 80 employees contributing in an integrated business process including hydrology, production planning, power trading and market analysis.

This vacancy is within the department of Hydrology, a group of 19 highly skilled hydrologists and meteorologists. The Hydrology Department is Statkraft's supplier of data and forecasts in hydrology, meteorology and climate. Our department is also responsible for the development and maintenance of the models and systems that form the basis for these deliveries.

These are exciting times to be part of our unit! We plan to operationalize a paradigm shift in the simulation of uncertainty in weather data, moving from historical weather years to a synthetical based Weather Generator. We also focus on new methods for modelling climate risk. Here we expect a growing need for decision support within wind and solar energy. Within hydrology, we work specifically on the hydrological and meteorological components of SHyFT, an open-source hydrological toolbox, developed in Python and C ++. All our tools are integrated in standardized and flexible model frameworks.

You will:

• Work with Statkraft’s core business
