Company Description

We at Vattenfall are determined to make fossil-free living possible within a generation. To succeed, as one of Europe's largest energy companies, we must first become completely fossil-free ourselves. But that is not enough. To contribute to a fossil-free society, we need to do more than just focus on sustainable energy production.

Because we are convinced that if we are to make it possible to live fossil-free within a generation, we need to look at the challenge from a broader perspective than just producing energy in a sustainable way.

Follow us on the road to a fossil-free life.

About the role

Power Climate Smarter living - that's our purpose. We are looking for talented students to help us on our journey towards fossil-free living. Writing a thesis at Vattenfall gives you a unique opportunity to contribute to our purpose. All we ask of you is that you unleash your superpowers and share your energy with us.

About the thesis

• The purpose of the work is to determine how much incoming alarms an individual operator can handle, and what supporting measures can be taken. This is to include this in a future requirement of new technology.
