I prepare statistical evaluations and reports in the energy sector, develop strategies for renewable energy sources and coordinate the Energy Upper Austria-South Bohemia specialist group. I got my start by applying on karriere.at; after a successful interview, I was quickly accepted. My studies gave me in-depth knowledge of renewable energies as well as skills in analysis, report preparation and presentation. I particularly appreciate the variety, flexibility and the opportunity to actively contribute to the energy transition in Upper Austria – supported by a collegial team. It is challenging that the progress of the energy transition is sometimes too slow. Strong communication skills, analytical thinking and perseverance are key to my job. A highlight every year is the Energy Saving Fair, where we advise lots of people on photovoltaics and subsidies. In the future, I would like to do an internship at the liaison office in Brussels.
