Company Description

Vattenfall is one of Europe's largest producers and retailers of electricity and heat. Our main markets are Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.

This involves, for example, conducting analyses, strategy development, driving strategic processes, and pursuing various business and development opportunities. We also monitor BA Generation's goals and progress, track external issues, and conduct benchmarks. Additionally, the Head of Fleet Development holds the role of Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO), responsible for ensuring nuclear safety perspectives, with supporting resources linked to this role within Fleet Development.
