� L’ingegnere elettrico è molto apprezzato in ABB per «vicinanza

culturale» e per la sua capacità di affrontare problemi complessi, trasversali rispetto a molti altri rami ingegneristici

� ABB offre un ambiente di lavoro multiculturare, in cui leadership tecnologica, innovazione, collaborazione ed integritàconsentono a tutti di sviluppare a pieno le proprie potenzialità

� In giovane ingegnere elettrico può accedere a ruoli tecnici (R&D, progettazione meccanica, elettrica ed elettronica, attività di laboratorio e test), ruoli tecnico-gestionali (Project engineer, Project leader, Project manager, Service, Supply Chain, Marketing, Qualità, Sicurezza e Ambiente, Produzione), ruoli commerciali (addetto vendite, supporto tecnico-commerciale)

Cosa offre ABB ad un giovane ingegnere elettrico

Capturing the power of the sun

� ABB offers turnkey solutions, with optimized 1 MW modules for all PV technologies and complete power and automation solutions for thermosolar power plants

� ABB recently signed an agreement for the acquisition of 35% of Novatec Solar, an innovative Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology company

� ABB installed as an EPC more then 130MW photovoltaic power plants in Italy and as awarded the first PV project in Algeria. ABB technology will aid production and integration of renewable energy into the national power grid

Energy efficiency


Grid reliabilityGenoa Smart City

� ABB signed a protocol with Genoa municipality, within the Strategical Plan for technological Energies, that will help in developping a cooperation aimed to improve quality of life for citizens and helping Genoa evolve into a “smart city”

� ABB offers several innovative technologies that meet main requirements, from energy efficiency to renewable energy management and integration

� ABB promoted to the municipality the “La casa della tecnologia” project as a Smart City research and testing center where suitable technologies and solutions used can be shown on a small scale

Grid reliability

Energy efficiency



Solutions for the “green” electrical distribution

Energy efficiency

� ABB has won an order for Gorona del Viento’s renewable energy project and will supply medium voltage (MV) equipment for the project on El Hierro, the smallest of the Canary Islands. Thanks to this plant El Hierro will be the first totally autonomous island from an energy generation point of view, with CO2 zero emission technologie.

The project will include a small 11.5 MW wind farm and an 11.32 MW hydroelectric pumped storage plant that will use excess electricity to pump water to a reservoir.

The wind farm, water turbines and pumps will be controlled from an interconnection substation
