CO₂-free, renewable energy is the way forward
Seize the opportunity to join a rapidly growing business and take on a position with great responsibility and possibility to influence further growth – both ours and yours.

Career in 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.

Our nuclear expertise covers the whole life-cycle of nuclear power plants
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’s nuclear 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.

We are hedging, trading and optimising Fortum’s production assets with an excellent understanding of customer needs, the power system and energy markets.

Decarbonizing heating and cooling
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.
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.
