Schneider ElectricESG & Sustainability Jobs

Global energy technology company specializing in electrification, automation, and digitalization for industries, buildings, and homes

Schneider Electric is a French multinational with roughly 160,000 employees that makes electrical distribution equipment, industrial automation systems, and energy management software. Its customers range from data centers and factories to commercial buildings and utilities. Its EcoStruxure platform connects hardware and software to monitor, control, and optimize energy use across facilities.

Why it matters

The company's core business is directly tied to decarbonization: its switchgear, microgrids, building management systems, and advisory services help organizations cut energy consumption, integrate renewables, and manage the shift away from fossil fuels. Schneider positions itself as an enabler of the energy transition by making electrical infrastructure more efficient and flexible - for example, helping buildings defer grid upgrades or helping manufacturers hit net-zero targets through monitoring and automation.

Schneider also runs SE Advisory Services, a consulting arm that works with corporate clients on energy sourcing, sustainability strategy, and regulatory compliance. The company publishes annual sustainability reports and maintains supplier sustainability programs, making it a significant employer across ESG, energy analytics, and regulatory roles.
