Together, we ensure the efficient and reliable supply of gas from Lower Saxony to Lake Constance. On site, our employees take care of the maintenance and demand-driven development of our gas and telecommunications network.
Do you want to make a difference? Then you have come to the right place. Discover the variety of tasks in our headquarters in Stuttgart and nine other sites in Baden-Württemberg and Hesse: as engineer, fitter, forman, technician, with a technical or business focus, in one of our technical plants, doing field work in our region or in the office.
Roughly 150 employees work at our headquarters in Stuttgart, our state capital. From here, we control and monitor our transmission network from Lower Saxony to Lake Constance. Our employees ensure that our network development projects run efficiently – from design planning to implementation. And also the cross-divisional teams such as purchasing, IT, finance and HR management are based here.
Engineers, lawyers, business administrators and economists, further experts for various specialist topics and generalists, all work hand in hand at our company. Together, the teams make a significant contribution to shaping both the strategic and operative course of our company, making sure that we are well positioned for the future.
About 30 employees are based at our site in Frankfurt am Main. Our colleagues here are responsible for technical measures in the network area from Lower Saxony to Hesse. There are also colleagues working in various cross-divisional functions such as IT and finance, who work together in a team with colleagues from the Stuttgart site.
We work at top speed. Our 17-strong team at the Tachenhausen site near Kirchheim unter Teck is responsible for our extensive high-speed fiber optics network. We use state-of-the-art technology to transmit and monitor the control and data transport, enabling the secure 24/7 operation of our gas transmission system. Our approximately 400 high-pressure distribution systems in in Hesse, Thuringa, Lower Saxony and Baden-Württemberg are monitored by our control centers in Stuttgart and Tachenhausen. Our customers trust in terranets bw´s reliable automation and transmission technology to control their energy grids.
Our Scharenstetten site is located on the edge of the Swabian Alb. Since 1988, one of our three gas compressor stations - an important nodal point in our transmission system - ensures that gas can be shipped from Ulm to Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg. About 20 employees are responsible for maintaining and monitoring our gas compressor system, about 600 kilometres of transmission system, 3 supply stations, 42 gas and transfer stations and 8 control systems from Heidenheim to the Austrian border.
Our site in Blankenloch with one of our three gas compressor stations is located in the northwest of Baden-Württemberg. By compressing gas, it can be transported over long distances. The gas compressor station thus ensures a secure supply of gas for the whole western region of Baden-Württemberg.
Roughly 20 employees are responsible for the efficient operation of the gas compressor system, about 400 kilometres of gas transmission system, 50 transfer stations and 4 supply stations as well as for maintaining numerous natural gas fuel stations from Hesse to Baden-Baden and from Karlsruhe to Neckarsulm.
Our site in Rheinstetten with one of our three gas compressor stations is located near Karlsruhe. The gas compressor station in Rheinstetten increases the pressure of the gas that is transported to the greater Stuttgart area. The plant serves to stabilize the gas supply in Baden-Württemberg. The facility is anchored in the national gas network development plan, which includes all measures required to ensure security of supply in Germany. You can find out more about the construction of the gas compressor station here.
Once the plant has been commissioned, around five employees will ensure its smooth operation and maintenance.
The employees located at the operating facility in Satteldorf ensure the efficient operation of our gas transmission system from Enzwaihingen to Neckarsulm via Crailsheim to Ulm. Roughly 10 fitters monitor and maintain about 400 kilometres of gas pipelines and 49 control systems.
5 employees located at the operating facility in Sandhausen ensure the efficient operation of our underground storage facility for gas. Maintenance and repair work are carried out on site by our colleagues, who are specifically trained in underground storage technology. terranets bw is the only transmission system operator in Germany to operate an underground storage facility in its transmission network. The mobile compressor is also stationed at the Sandhausen site and is supervised by two other employees. This is used to pump pipeline sections during planned construction work on the pipeline network. This reduces CO2 emissions and the natural gas can be reused.
The Weier site is located in the west of Baden-Württemberg and employs nine people. They are responsible for carrying out all the necessary repair works and conversion measures along our transmission system. This includes work on high-pressure gas pipelines, stations, technical systems and the provision of three mobile gas pressure regulation and metering systems. The colleagues also carry out repair work on the control systems of our downstream network operators. The area of operation extends from Baden-Baden to the Swiss border and into the Black Forest as far as Triberg. The team also looks after our central warehouse, which stores material for maintenance and repair works on piplines and valve groups in our transmission network.
Our Deißlingen site is located between Stuttgart and Lake Constance. Here, our 11 employees ensure the smooth operation of three supply stations, 32 transfer stations and a biogas feed-in plant. As part of our technical services, five stations and several natural gas filling stations are maintained and serviced. The team is responsible for a total of 425 km of our transmission network between Stuttgart, Lake Constance and the Black Forest, thus ensuring a reliable gas supply in the south of Baden-Württemberg. In addition, the Deißlingen site is not only the central warehouse for gas meters, but also acts as a logistical hub for supplying our other sites and our service customers.
