Senior Power System Engineer at the Heart of the Nordic Green Transition

Are you motivated by contributing to a greener future and shaping a fully carbon-neutral, sustainable energy system? Do you thrive in a collaborative, international environment where diverse perspectives strengthen outcomes?

Nordic RCC – supporting security of supply and the green energy transition

Nordic Regional Coordination Centre (RCC) provides essential services and insights to support the national Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark — ensuring efficient operation of the Nordic power system and a high level of security of supply. Based in Copenhagen, Nordic RCC is one of six RCCs in Europe and is jointly owned by the Nordic region’s four electricity TSOs: Fingrid, Statnett, Svenska Kraftnät, and Energinet.

As European power systems evolve to meet climate goals, Nordic RCC delivers regional coordination, integrated services, and actionable insights to support cross-border operational security 24/7.

Nordic RCC is a growing organization committed to making a meaningful impact in the energy sector and enabling a secure, efficient transition to a sustainable energy future. We are now looking for a Senior Power System Engineer who is excited to contribute to this mission.

Job description

• Coordinating with TSOs, tool vendors, and Nordic RCC service teams
• Participating in international development projects, including work with ENTSO‑E
• Contributing to the development of tools used in operations and back-office functions

Requirements

You hold an MSc in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field with a strong focus on power systems and electricity markets. You are comfortable working with data sets and ideally bring at least 5 years of relevant industry experience.

Additional beneficial competencies:

• Experience with power system simulation tools (POWSYBL, PowerFactory)
• Programming or scripting skills (Python)
• Knowledge of the Common Grid Model Exchange Standard (CGMES)

We welcome candidates who enjoy solving complex challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and contributing to shared goals. A good understanding of data relations and operational business processes is an advantage.

You will thrive in this role if you

• Enjoy working in a team while also being able to organize your own tasks
