Hans Koopman, 42, has been appointed as a new Managing Director of TÜV NORD EnSys on 1 July 2024. He also heads the Business Field Clean Energy Solutions of the global Business Unit Energy & Resources. Silvio Konrad remains Chairman of the Board of Management of TÜV NORD EnSys.
Hans Koopman can draw on over 15 years of experience in the energy sector from his activities at Siemens Energy. There he held positions in commissioning, research and development, purchasing and sales, among others. While his responsibilities initially centred on nuclear technologies, they have shifted towards renewable energies and green hydrogen in the last six years.
"I am looking forward to combining the three business segments of nuclear technology, new energy systems and hydrogen at TÜV NORD. The challenges of the climate crisis require all the stops to be pulled out for sustainable solutions. TÜV NORD has the expertise to provide technical support and help shape the energy transition in Germany and internationally," says Hans Koopman.
Born in the Netherlands, he holds a Master's degree in Applied Physics from TU Delft with a degree in Nuclear Engineering; he completed his doctorate at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He also has a degree in economics from the Fern-Uni Hagen.
"With Hans Koopman, we have an experienced energy expert for the major upheavals in the energy industry on board - I am looking forward to working with him. Together, we will continue to provide our customers with competent support as an expert organisation for nuclear facilities and also apply our many years of expertise to new technologies such as SMRs and fusion reactors," says Silvio Konrad, Chairman of the Board of Management of TÜV NORD EnSys.
TÜV NORD EnSys' expertise lies in energy generation and distribution, with a major focus on nuclear technology and new, decentralised energy solutions such as sector coupling, hydrogen and battery storage - these form the Clean Energy Solutions business field. The second focus of TÜV NORD EnSys is the Renewables business field, which specialises in wind energy, photovoltaics and other renewable energies.
