Working at bayernets

bayernets GmbH is a transmission system operator in the sense of the German Energy Act. With our gas pipeline network, we are part of the German gas transmission system. With our cross-border interconnection points to Austria, we are also part of the European gas transmission system. 

Our employees ensure the supply of gas for a multitude of cities and communities in southern Bavaria and Tyrol and therefore significantly contribute to maintaining the security of supply. We are responsible for operating, maintaining and managing the gas transmission system day and night, 365 days a year.

What can you expect?

In addition to operating, maintaining and developing our network, trading our shipping capacities and supporting our grid customers and downstream grid operators, we have focused our future strategies on innovative technologies for using and developing our gas infrastructure. Renewable and decarbonised gases form an integral part of these technologies.

Working for our company not only means solving complex technical, commercial and legal issues. You will also contribute to shaping the energy transition and securing the future viability of our energy supply.

Reliability and security are at the heart of everything we do to provide gas infrastructure services. In network control and the marketing of our capacities, we have already reached a high degree of digitalisation and are constantly driving forward the automation of non-technical work processes.
