At Essent, you really will find yourself in a sweet spot. On the one hand, we believe that the energy transition can only take place by changing people’s behaviour. It is therefore to our advantage that we are the biggest energy company in the Netherlands with a customer base of 2.2 million households. Sweet spot! With smart products, we are helping the Netherlands as a whole to make the energy transition one step at a time. At the same time, with around 250 colleagues, Essent IT is large enough to experience the benefits of a mature business, yet small enough to respond dynamically. With around 200 DevOps engineers in 27 teams, as a team you really have something at your disposal that has end-to-end impact. We never sit still: the energy sector and energy transition are a very dynamic world in which we are constantly on the move, and you are largely responsible for determining and making your own journey within this.
