CO₂-free, renewable energy is the way forward
The Renewables Wind and Solar, a joint Fortum-Uniper organization, is responsible for the development of the wind and solar business at Fortum-Uniper predominantly in Europe. The renewables business is an important pillar of our joint strategy. Our aim is to deliver more than 1 GW of wind and solar projects per year by 2025.
In renewables you will have an opportunity to work in a rapidly growing business and take on a position with great responsibility and possibility to influence further growth – both ours and yours.
Nuclear power plays an important role in clean energy production
As a reliable, CO2-free energy source, nuclear power helps to satisfy today’s increasing electricity needs while mitigating climate change. Fortum has over 40 years of experience designing, licensing, and operating nuclear facilities and supplying related services and technologies.
Loviisa nuclear power plant has been producing electricity safely for over 40 years. The power production covers ~10% of Finland’s electricity production. Loviisa NPP employs over 500 engaged people who ensure safe and reliable energy production.
Our nuclear expertise covers the whole life-cycle of nuclear power plants, from new builds to decommissioning and final disposal of nuclear waste. We actively manage and develop our co-owned nuclear assets in the Nordics and offer services to the nuclear industry globally.
As a technology expert in nuclear, you could be implementing Fortum’snuclear power projects. This means demanding tasks related to power plant operations and maintenance at our own and co-owned power plants. We support and carry out sales of world-class nuclear power services globally and actively develop new innovative products and services for our customers’ needs.
In-depth understanding of the electricity business
Trading and Asset Optimisation (TAO) organisation optimises the best price for electricity production and consumption and hedges earnings from these operations with commodity derivatives far into the future. About 95 TWh of physical electricity trading and about 200 TWh of trading in commodity derivatives pass through TAO each year.
We operate in several commodity exchanges such as Nasdaq Commodities and ICE, as well as physical electricity markets, Nord Pool and TGE (Polish Power Exchange). We also operate Fortum's hydro plants to enable the total optimisation of our hydro fleet in the volatile energy market. An in-depth understanding of the electricity business and market knowledge are essential parts of TAO's business. In addition, TAO Ventures pilots new start-ups such as Fortum Spring.
Digitalization is a key-enabler in the transition for a cleaner world
Our 400+ employees in Business Technology support Fortum in becoming a digital winner in the age of electricity. Join us in supporting our businesses, improving and transforming their operations through digital technologies, innovating everywhere and commercializing our innovations and ideas to generate new businesses or revenue streams. Our work truly impacts the whole of Fortum.
The Business Technology community is a diverse group of people with multiple skills and backgrounds: innovation, startups, software development, data management, IT, cyber security, design, project management and business relationships, are just a few examples of what your work with us could entail.
Leading the change towards optimal use of resources
We lead the change towards a low-emission energy system and optimal use of resources. Our goal is to support our customers’ business by conserving natural resources and promoting circular economy. We work together with our customers to build smart and sustainable solutions for ensuring the circulation of valuable materials and the removal of harmful substances from the material cycle.
Decarbonizing heating and cooling production
We provide district heating in a number of cities in the Nordic countries, Poland and Russia. District heating is a convenient and reliable form of heating. It is also good for the environment, since the heat increasingly comes from recycled energy. With district heating, you enjoy more comfortable living and you contribute to building a sustainable society.
Heating and Cooling main operations in Finland are within Espoo district heating network area where we produce both heating and cooling and thereby related products and services to our customers. We are currently in a major transformation phase where achieving our Clean Heat targets are reshaping our operating environment and ways of working extensively. In Espoo Clean Heat implementation, we play an instrumental role in advancing projects towards coal phase out by 2025 and decarbonized heating and cooling production within this decade.
High-value products from biomass
The Bio2X programme is part of Fortum’s strategy to build options for significant new businesses that improve resource efficiency and provide smart solutions for a cleaner world. It aims to be the straw refiner with superior material efficiency and a leading supplier of responsible textile fibres. Bio2X focuses on an efficient use of the cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin fractions in order to replace fossil or otherwise detrimental raw materials in numerous end-use applications.
In Bio2X you can work in a start-up spirit working environment. You will be part of a group which is not only going to commercialize and industrialize new technologies but also create a new business within sustainable materials.
Renewable and clean energy
Hydropower is the backbone of the Nordic energy system. It is a steady source of power that produces no CO2 emissions. And with only water as an input, the low operating costs of hydropower stabilise the price of electricity for everyone.
We have total of 159 hydropower plants in Finland and Sweden. Added to this we are co-owner in several hydro power plants. We believe hydropower is a necessary form of electricity production in the transition to a sustainable society. Working with its development is being a part of creating a cleaner world and a carbon-free future.
