Our Uniper COO IT teams are at the leading edge of the development and application of technology for Uniper's asset business. Through intelligent and connected software, our digital products help solve the complex challenges of the energy sector - from green transformation to reliable energy security. This is your chance to learn and develop over a year placement with Uniper, and make a real difference to how an entire industry works.

Your responsibilities

The placement is an exciting opportunity to be a part of Uniper’s COO IT teams. A major part of this role will be the new and ongoing development of software products that are critical to both the company and industry. Platform solutions range from software monitoring and optimising the operations and performance of our existing power generation asset base, to tools modelling and driving the green transformation of our asset portfolio.

Live projects include harnessing generative and agentic AI techniques to surface insight from our engineering systems and deliver a strong user experience for live applications, and bringing computer vision and augmented reality to how we support plant inspections and deliver services in industrial environments. As part of the placement, you’ll be working directly with software and DevOps engineers, AI and ML engineers, UX and design architects and a vast array of technology and domain experts. Combined with mentoring and technical training, the placement will allow you to develop significantly over the course of your time with Uniper. There may also be the opportunity for international travel.

Your profile

To join this placement, you can be studying either a Computer Science or related degree. More important than your specific degree discipline is an understanding of web applications, full stack software engineering, and that you love building great software.

Key activities will include:

  • Software development of new digital solutions;
  • Working with colleagues & teams across Uniper to create a world-class platform for our power generation and energy storage assets;
  • Maintenance & support of live software and digital platforms;
  • UX design opportunities;

You’ll ideally hold experience with:

  • Programming skills – Python, .NET Framework or similar;

  • Snowflake, Cosmos & SQL databases;
  • Microsoft Azure;
  • Microservices.

What you will gain from the Placement:
