AI (Enablement) Lead Engineer

MET Group is an integrated energy company, and providing energy solutions in more than 24 countries, we are on the journey to be the pan-European energy champion. A frictionless customer experience and smart digital (AI-supported) solutions are part of our customer promise and vision.

Working with the CIO, our Trading & Sales Entities and our Digital Transformation Office this position will allow you to drive the building and adoption of our AI practices.

The AI Enablement practice you will set up and embody has the mission to enable our delivery and business teams across the business units to elevate their delivery pace and quality. You do this through solid, reliable and scalable engineering practices and through AI agents built on (e.g.) a solution like Claude or Copilot.

This is an individual contributor role, and you'll be the first dedicated person in this function at MET Group - you're building the practice, rather than joining an established one. It's a hands-on builder and coach role: someone who can sit with a business or engineering team, figure out what could accelerate them, and turn that into e.g. a reusable agent, a tightened pipeline, or a more frictionless way of working. Through this you will drive the maturity growth of the use of end-user-AI productivity solutions. Depending on adoption and maturity progress, there is the natural next objective to developing enterprise grade, governed, autonomous agentic workflows on our enterprise data/ analytics platform.
