Night shift operator at the heart of the Nordic Green Transition

Nordic RCC is looking for candidates with a technical background and interest in the role as 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?

We have recently expanded the control center hours to operate 24/7 and have open positions available, 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: morning 07-14, Afternoon 14-21, and night 21-07.
• The night shift function is, for the time being, a “resting” function at the Nordic RCC premises. When alerted, your responsibility is to enter the control center within minutes, intervening in the operational challenge faced.
• 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.  
• Cooperate with the TSOs securing the process of services.
• Trouble shoot and fix challenges in the services together with NRCC IT support.

Additionally, depending on the candidate:

Responsibilities, besides the operator role, can be expanded to other areas within operational back-office tasks or project work based on the profile, qualifications, and interests of the candidate. Shifts are expected to take up 50-70% of working time on average.

Other working areas can be:

• Involvement in testing system updates and features to be introduced to the control center.
• Quality assurance and updating operational procedures.
• Shift planning responsibilities.
• Quality assurance and data retrieval for operational reporting.
• Provide analytical insights on operational planning scenarios.
• Communication and co-ordination with Nordic TSOs on operational improvements and data exchange.
• Develop and maintain training programs for existing and new employees.
• Participation in international development projects, e.g. with ENTSO-E.

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

We are not looking for a specific educational background, but an engineering, marine engineering (Maskinmester) or similar technical or data-scientific background is preferred. What is more important is your profile as a whole and how you are assessed to fit within the Nordic RCC organization.   

Employment conditions

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.

You will join a company of competent, diverse, and enthusiastic colleagues and at times work in virtual teams with expert colleagues from the Nordic TSOs and potentially from all of Europe.

We are currently 24 nationalities with more than 30% women (striving to improve this balance) and all ages.

Your daily workplace will be in our newly furnished office premises in Copenhagen Towers, Ørestad. When not on shift in our control center we are offering workplace flexibility to ensure a healthy work-life balance including the possibility for working from home some of your worktime. 

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.

The position is conditioned upon a satisfactory background check as well as a national security clearance, both of which will be facilitated by Nordic RCC.
