Student worker in our control center - to support the Green Energy Transition

Nordic RCC is looking for candidates with a technical background and interest in the role as student operator in our control center – is this something for you?

Do you like working by firm and well-defined procedures, yet alert to interfere in the process when needed? Are you open-minded and enjoy working in a diverse and international team? And are you eager to be part of something new and meaningful?

The position will mainly be covering the operator position during the shift from 21.00- 07.15, so if you can say yes to the above, then you may be just the person we are looking for.

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

Nordic RCC – supporting security of supply and the green transition

Nordic RCC provides calculations and recommendations to the four Nordic Electricity Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Energinet, Fingrid, Statnett and Svenska Kraftnät. The main aim of the services is to ensure transparency and help the TSOs with operational planning to ensure continued security of supply with an increase of renewables in the system. In short: We play a small but important part of enabling the green transition.

Key responsibilities for the operator role:

• Participating in the 24/7 control center shift roster: mainly covering the night hours 21.00 - 07.15.
• The shift starts in the control center relieving a colleague operator from the evening shift. When time allows, and the processes for the evening have finalized successfully, you have an opportunity to enter an adjacent resting facility. During the shift, when alerted, your responsibility is to enter the control center within minutes, intervening in the operational challenge faced. Next morning at 07.00 the morning operator will relieve you from your shift responsibility.
• Become an expert in executing the services provided from the 24/7 Nordic RCC control center.
• Maintaining your qualifications and knowledge in the operator control systems.
• Interface to the Nordic TSOs control centers.

Depending on the flexibility and the competence of the candidate, there will be an opportunity to be involved in other areas of responsibility in the department. This way one will get a better understanding of the NRCC in general, and to meet fellow NRCC colleagues during normal business hours.

Other working areas can be:

• Involvement in testing of system updates and features to be introduced to the control center.
• Quality assurance and updating operational procedures.
• Quality assurance and data retrieval for operational reporting.
• Provide analytical insights on operational planning scenarios.

You are open-minded, have an international mindset and excellence in working within structured patterns, at the same time the ability to maneuver within a huge spectrum of corner cases quickly, reliably, and independently.

You are also structured and can appreciate a fast-paced environment from time to time. On a personal level you are open-minded, team-oriented and take responsibility.

Nordic RCC is an international office, so fluency in spoken and written English is required as well as a motivation for working in an international environment.
