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.
Fortum’s Wind and Solar organisation is responsible for the development of wind and solar business. Our aim is to grow especially in our home market where conditions for wind power are excellent. Wind and solar power play a crucial role in decarbonisation of our societies.
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
Energy unites our 700 nuclear professionals, who play an important role in the decarbonization of our energy system. At Fortum, we have a solid background of over 40 years of safe nuclear operations and we are co-owner of several nuclear power plants in the Nordics.

The operating licence of Loviisa power plant is valid until 2050, which means that we will need the expertise of a wide range of professionals well into the future.

Leading the way towards a revolution of materials
We are Rethinking Recycling and leading the way towards a revolution of materials. Solving problems is in our DNA and our mission is to transform waste streams back to essential raw materials.

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.
