Application process

Depending on the company and position, the process may vary. So we are providing you with an exemplary overview of the possible steps involved. Your recruiter can help you with any additional questions you may have.

  • Online application

    Your online application is the first step of the application process. All jobs are advertised in our career portal. Create an application profile – it will only take about two minutes and can open the door for you to jobs in all E.ON Group companies worldwide. All applications for advertised jobs at E.ON must be made online.

  • Interview

    In the interview, we get to know each other better. Tell us about yourself and ask us anything that is on your mind: about the position, the team or generally about E.ON as an employer. The interview will take place either in person or online. We look forward to meeting you.

  • Contract and onboarding

    Welcome to the team! We want to make sure that you'll find your way around the company quickly. During your onboarding you’ll learn everything you need to know about E.ON and your new work environment.

We value and foster diversity

Society is diverse – just like our workforce. We’ve proved that fresh ideas and perspectives always emerge when an exciting blend of different people work together. That's why we work hard to become a diversity pioneer.


In 2008, we signed the German Diversity Charter. We are also a member of numerous national and international networks and initiatives that deal with various aspects of diversity.


And we also promote an inclusive culture internally. To name just two examples: In Germany, we run a mentoring programme to prepare female employees for leadership positions. We also launched the CEO Awards for Diversity & Inclusion in 2018. The awards support people and activities at E.ON who are committed to diversity and inclusion.
