The MinTraq readiness lens for EnBW
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at EnBW.
Build depth in the discipline your role needs, then connect it to EnBW's generation, grids or customer supply work. A grid engineer and a customer adviser need different technical foundations.
Practise making decisions when reliability, project progress and customer needs compete. Explain what you would check, who needs to be involved and how you would communicate uncertainty.
For leadership roles, show how you would coordinate teams across an integrated energy business while keeping both current services and transition projects in view.
