About the role

Your contributions will directly support Fortum's mission to drive and accelerate the flexibility agenda. By succeeding in this together with the team, you will be enabling the decarbonization and electrification of the energy system as well as adjacent industries.

The position is permanent and located in Espoo, Finland.
