We employ around 3,200 people in Bonn, Mainz and 44 other locations.

What does Unit 625 do?

We carry out various tasks in the area of access regulation to hydrogen and gas transportation networks, gas supply security and EU gas matters.

On the other hand, we take precautions for possible crisis situations and maintain the necessary structure. Finally, we also represent all of the aforementioned topics at EU level in various committees.

What are your tasks?

You will primarily work in the area of crisis preparedness and security of supply. This includes the ongoing maintenance and further development of existing crisis structures and the further development of crisis preparation processes:

  • You keep the action alternatives up to date in the event of a crisis, communicate with internal and external stakeholders, design training courses and exercises and carry them out

  • You contribute to the visual preparation of data using R or Python and other suitable tools
  • You support the definition and implementation of IT security measures from a user perspective and act as an interface to the IT department

Due to the area of responsibility, an extended review (SÜ 2) is required in accordance with the Security Review Act.

Who are we looking for?

  • You have completed or are about to complete a Master's degree with 300 ECTS credits or a Diplom (university) degree in (business) informatics, administrative informatics, data science management, (business) mathematics, statistics, industrial engineering, economics, economics, business administration or a comparable subject area
  • You have several years of practical experience in agile software development with relevant programming languages such as Python, C/C++, Java, Rust, Go, JavaScript or R
  • Ideally, you have experience in working with databases, processing and visualizing large amounts of data, connecting external interfaces, structured software testing, designing software architecture and UX/UI design
  • You have a good grasp of things, the ability to think abstractly and a high level of motivation
  • You have a confident and engaging manner
  • You are a committed, reliable and flexible personality who works independently and results-oriented even under time pressure in difficult situations

  • You are open-minded and cooperative in a team, have experience in interdisciplinary collaboration and have strong and proven people skills
  • You have good written and verbal communication skills and good English language skills
  • You are willing to undertake business trips

What do we offer?

  • A responsible and varied job at the interface between politics, business and administration with lots of creative opportunities in a highly motivated team
  • A position with the same status up to grade A 14 of the Federal Salary Scale, provided you are already a civil servant
  • A classification according to pay group 13 TVöD; with several years of relevant professional experience, a classification up to pay group 14 TVöD is possible; the aim is to be taken on as a civil servant
  • A secure job with a permanent position
  • Employees covered by collective agreements receive an annual special payment and a supplementary pension (VBL) with employer contribution
  • Promotion opportunities up to salary group A 15 of the Federal Salary Scale or a comparable classification
  • Wide range of further training and development opportunities
  • A good working atmosphere and collegial cooperation
  • Possibility of working flexibly in terms of location and time (no core working hours, possibility of teleworking and mobile working in the home office for up to 60% of working hours)
  • Job ticket with employer subsidy, good public transport connections and free parking facilities
  • Own canteen and coffee bar
  • Moving expenses reimbursed in accordance with statutory provisions
  • Work-life balance and a wide range of part-time options

Applications from women are particularly welcome. We expressly welcome applications from people with severe disabilities; they are given preference if they are equally suitable within the framework of the applicable legal regulations. We regard the diversity of our employees as a great asset. Appreciating it in all its dimensions is therefore a central component of our HR policy.
