“Until 2019, I was an electronics technician for industrial engineering, working underground. Following the demise of the hardcoal mining industry in Germany, I got a job at Amprion that offers good prospects for the future. The work in our substations fits my profile perfectly.”

Andre Thielbier (32)

Electronics technician for industrial engineering, installs and maintains high-voltage switchgear.

“From the Criminal Investigation Department to a grid operator – for a business information systems specialist, this isn’t that big a move. As an IT investigator, success can only be found by being a team player. This experience is now helping me in my project work at Amprion.”

Markus Menz

Business information systems specialist, develops IT solutions for communications equipment at Amprion.

“As a former consultant for a nature and environmental protection organisation, I know from my own experience what interests environmental experts, public officials and conservationists. This appreciation of other people’s interests helps a great deal when communicating the arguments for and details of our grid expansion projects.”

Claire Tranter (45)

Landscape architect, manages grid expansion projects.

“Officers must act independently and take responsibility. That’s why my time with the Bundeswehr (German military) prepared me well for my new duties and responsibilities in corporate development. The fact that Amprion is currently growing extremely dynamically makes the work all the more exciting.”

Christina Schumacher (32)

Industrial engineer and former IT officer, is the contact at Amprion for ideas management.

“As a forestry scientist, I’m passionate about conservation. In my previous job with a government agency, the resources available for conservation measures were limited. At Amprion, I’m able to ecologically upgrade large areas of land – and give back to nature something of what we take from it elsewhere through our projects.”

Christoph Tölle (36)

Forestry scientist and landscape architect, plans and implements nature conservation compensatory measures.
