Student assistant night shift operator at the heart of Nordic Green Transition

Nordic RCC is looking for a student assistant 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 a need for filling the operator position during the shift from 21.00 PM- 07.15 AM, so if you can say yes to the above, 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 will be:

• Participating in the 24/7 control center shift roster: preferably covering the night hours 21.00 - 07.15.
• The night shift function is, for the time being, a “resting” function at the Nordic RCC premises. 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. From 07.00 the next morning the morning operator will take over.
• 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 Nordic RCC IT support.

Additionally, depending on the candidate:

Depending on the flexibility and competences of the student assistant, 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 Nordic RCC in general, and to meet fellow Nordic RCC 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 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 the Nordic RCC control center at the office premises in Copenhagen Towers, Ørestad.

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.
