Senior Value Engineer - Energy Industry

Role Description

• As an Senior Value Engineer specializing in the Energy Sector you are pushing the envelope in solving business-critical problems for our strategic customers across utilities oil & gas and renewable energy. You will be working with our most strategic energy clients understanding their unique objectives—from grid modernization and asset lifecycle management to navigating the energy transition—and building Celonis solutions using the world’s leading Process Intelligence (PI) platform in combination with the largest AI and ML technology partners such as Microsoft OpenAI and Databricks.
  With Celonis’ Process Intelligence (PI) platform we feed operational context to AI so it understands our customers’ complex business realities (bridging IT and OT systems) and enables them to industrialize AI unlocking real ROI on deployments at scale. You will prototype these solutions demonstrate their value to Energy Executives and ensure successful implementation adoption and value realization in order to increase the footprint of Celonis across the global energy landscape.

Key Responsibilities:

• AI Discovery & Solutioning: Understand energy customers' AI strategy and sector-specific challenges (e.g. predictive maintenance outage management supply chain resilience or regulatory compliance). As a Celonis product and energy domain expert find the best problem-solution fit and translate customer requirements into innovative solutions that move the needle.

• Pre- and Post-Sales Execution: Actively drive the full customer lifecycle. Lead technical discovery and capability demonstrations during the pre-sales cycle and remain deeply involved post-sale to guide implementation ensuring agreed value and adoption thresholds are successfully reached.

• Hackathons & Prototyping: Think out of the box have a „can-do“ attitude and don’t shy away from complex operational problems. Leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to rapidly build creative prototypes in customer hackathons solving critical pain points specific to power generation transmission and O&G operations.

• Agentic Process Transformation: Support our customers in achieving real ROI out of AI deployments at scale enabling a fundamental shift from traditional rule-based automation to the use of autonomous AI agents empowered by our Celonis Process Intelligence Platform (e.g. intelligent field service routing or autonomous procurement).

• Proof Projects: End-to-end execution of business-critical Proof-of-Value projects. This includes architecting and delivering secure scalable LLM/agent systems with RAG tools and guardrails while seamlessly integrating with enterprise data identity protocols and stringent energy compliance frameworks.

• Domain & Industry Leadership: Serve as the internal and external technical subject matter expert for the Energy vertical scaling knowledge across the organization regarding utilities upstream/downstream oil & gas and renewable energy processes.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience leading technical pre-sales and post-sales engagements specifically within the Energy sector (Utilities Oil & Gas and/or Renewables). This includes defining AI roadmaps building compelling ROI/TCO business cases and guiding technical implementations through to value realization.

• Deep understanding of business processes native to the Energy sector (such as Asset Management Field Services Supply Chain Capital Projects or Trading) with the ability to translate high-level business needs into specific impactful AI use cases.

• Expertise in generative AI techniques like RAG few-shot learning prompt engineering multi-agent orchestration multimodal understanding or fine-tuning used to build high-impact use cases (e.g. automated processing of engineering documents regulatory filings or intelligent diagnostic chatbots).

• Solid knowledge of Python and common ML libraries (such as LangChain pandas pydantic sklearn PyTorch) as well as data engineering tools and technologies relevant to handling large-scale industrial data.

• Strong presentation skills to both internal and external stakeholders (including C-level executives and operational leaders) whether leading technical whiteboarding sessions or formal readouts and demos.

• Bachelor’s Degree required; Master's Degree in computer science engineering mathematics or related fields or equivalent work experience preferred.

Nice to have (big plus):

• Hands-on experience building agentic systems using LLM orchestration RAG function calling and prompt engineering while ensuring safety through rigorous evaluations and guardrails suited for highly regulated industries.

• Working knowledge of tools in the LLM ecosystem such as LangChain LlamaIndex or other OSS packages.

• Experience in deploying and monitoring models at scale across major cloud platforms (AWS Bedrock Azure AI GCP Vertex) and familiarity with IT/OT convergence and industrial IoT data structures.
