Why Statkraft?

Statkraft has been making clean energy possible for over a century. That’s what we offer. 125 years of unrivalled expertise in supplying the world with what it needs most. Because in the fight against climate change, we don’t see renewable energy as part of the solution. We believe it must be the solution. With us, you’ll shape a career that is truly forward-facing with many amazing opportunities and offerings to match.

But there’s more work to be done. That’s why we need you to join us.

Energy markets are becoming more complex, more volatile, and more data-driven. Success increasingly depends on real-time optimisation and the smart use of flexibility from both Renewable Assets and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to maximise value creation.

Statkraft is strengthening its end-to-end market capabilities across Europe, combining long-term origination with sophisticated short-term optimisation and trading. Southern Europe – and France in particular – is playing an increasingly important role in this journey, expanding into short-term trading and BESS optimisation, supported by strong collaboration across Statkraft’s European market organisation.

You will help build the flexibility backbone of Southern Europe, being part of a high-performing, international environment where technology, analytics, and commercial judgement come together to unlock value from renewable and flexible portfolios.

For professionals who want responsibility, growth, and the chance to make a real commercial impact in the energy transition, Statkraft in Paris is a compelling next step.
