Nordic RCC context
Nordic RCC is established by EU regulation. Our main task is not to identify new profit optimizing services, but 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.
