Company Description

Are you passionate about energy, sustainability and technology and have a team mindset?
Flexcity, a European leading energy technology company within the Veolia Group is looking for a dynamic Portfolio Manager to join our NL operations.
 

This Portfolio Manager position offers the opportunity to join the Flexcity operations in Netherlands, within a team of highly skilled Portfolio Managers and Demand Response Analysts from different backgrounds.

 

Historically, heat-intensive industries have relied on natural gas to produce steam and hot water. As these sectors move toward decarbonisation, they must adopt alternative methods for generating industrial heat. We believe Power-to-Heat technologies—such as electric boilers (eboilers), heat pumps, and thermal storage—will be essential in driving this transition.
