Join and share our vision

Do you like complex power systems engineering development, stakeholder management and driving tool development towards value creation? 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?

Join Nordic RCC, a growing company with a pivotal role in the clean energy transition and with the vision to enable the power systems of the future.

The Nordic Regional Coordination Center (RCC) based in Copenhagen provides key services to the four Nordic Transmission System Operators (TSO), unlocking their potential to optimize operations across borders.

• Have a close and proactive collaboration with Nordic TSOs regarding operational improvements and data exchange to shape the service we provide according to their needs.
• Lead or join projects, task forces and initiatives.
• Prototype, develop and maintain operational tools in close cooperation with IT software developers and system architects.
• Participate in testing campaigns, ensuring the quality and performance of our products and services before they reach operation.
• Provide analytical insights on root-causes for incidents.
• Develop scripts in python in close coordination with IT Services.
• Ensure reporting from RCC to TSOs and regulatory authorities.
• Develop and maintain training programs for existing and new employees.

The list of tasks will develop over time, and you will work together with the Team Lead to structure the role, so it fits your profile and career development.
