System Architect at the Heart of the Nordic Green Transformation

Are you eager to make a difference in the Green Transformation in the Nordics and in Europe, working towards a fully carbon neutral, sustainable energy system? Do you enjoy working in a diverse and international team balancing many stakeholders? Are you structured and organized? Then you may be just the person we are looking for. 

We are looking for a System Architect who likes to make a difference. 

The energy sector in Europe is undergoing a dramatic transition towards a fully carbon neutral, sustainable energy system. The Nordic countries have set particularly stretched targets for the transition during this decade. 

Nordic RCC A/S is the Nordic Regional Coordination Center and a significant contributor to the green transition. As the provider of regional power system capacity planning and security analysis, Nordic RCC supports the national Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This is to ensure the efficient operation of the Nordic Power System with a high security of power supply at any time. As such, Nordic RCC plays a vital part of the green transition in the Nordics. 

Nordic RCC – supporting security of supply and the Green Transition 

Based in Copenhagen, Nordic RCC embodies a strong Nordic collaboration across the Nordics TSOs (Energinet, Statnett, Fingrid and Svenska Kraftnät) and other European Regional Coordination Centers. In this collaboration, we empower the energy market in the Nordics and in Europe, as well as assist the TSOs in maintaining a reliable power supply now and in the future. 

Nordic RCC contributes to safe operation of the Nordic power system and to optimize the power market. A key aim of the services provided by Nordic RCC is to ensure transparency and to help the TSOs with operational planning. In doing so, we ensure continued security of supply with an increase of renewables in the energy system, and become an essential driver of the Nordic Green Transformation and electrification in close collaboration with the Nordic TSOs. 

Join Nordic RCC, a fast-developing company determined to make a significant impact in the energy sector to provide for a secure and efficient transition to the green, sustainable energy system. 

Nordic RCC is growing and changing rapidly and thus working on developing many of our processes. You will be part of a critical and exciting time, building the future of the company.  

Key responsibilities:  

Reporting to the Architecture & Technology Team Lead, and in close collaboration with the Architecture & Technology Team and your IT colleagues, your responsibilities are:  

On a personal level you are open-minded, team oriented, take responsibility and aim to build trust. You are structured and appreciate a fast-paced environment from time to time. You take responsibility, have a curious and open-minded with good human understanding. You are proactive, analytic, positive and result oriented with a structured approach to your work and familiar with working in diverse cultures. 

The job requires security clearance which will be facilitated by Nordic RCC. 

Nordic RCC context 

Nordic RCC is a private company but established by EU regulation. Focus differs from a “normal” private company as the main task is not to identify new profit optimizing services. Rather, the goal is to continuously develop services according to legal requirements in a way which adds value to our service recipients (TSOs) and, in the end, to Nordic societies. 

This makes the environment that Nordic RCC works in complex, but also highly motivating and engaging, as we are all generally focused on value creation for society in a time where electricity is in focus (security of supply, prices, and energy transition).  

We are looking for a candidate who is motivated by this. The candidate is not expected to grasp the complexity and the content of the core business in advance. This understanding will develop over time, and depending on the wishes of the candidate, there will be opportunities for training in the energy systems, markets, etc.

Our values of fellowship, curiosity, respect, and transparency have been defined by all employees. They identify how we behave and shape the way we work together, and we expect you to see yourself in them. 

Your daily workplace will be in our newly furnished office premises in Copenhagen Towers, Ørestad. We are offering workplace flexibility to ensure a healthy work-life balance including the possibility of working from home some of your worktime.
