Function

This vacancy concerns a position as dispatcher (Control Room Operator) working day shifts (morning and afternoon shifts) at the regional dispatching center.

In this role, you will mainly carry out the following tasks:

  • You will prepare and coordinate the commissioning and decommissioning of installations.
  • You will contribute to keeping the necessary operational documents (basic switching notes, operating notes, etc.) up to date.
  • You will also participate in improving the operational processes of the dispatching department. If necessary, you will support or substitute for a colleague in the full shift and monitor the grid. In this context, you will have the following responsibilities:
    • Ensuring that the voltage quality of the grid expected by our customers is continuously maintained.
    • Managing alarms and anomalies on the grid and in the systems.Performing the necessary control calculations.
    • Handling incidents and communicating about these incidents.

To achieve these goals, you will follow an intensive training program over several months, allowing you to gradually acquire the necessary competencies to take on the various tasks.

Initially, you will prepare the planned switching operations and submit them for validation to all relevant parties. You will also actively contribute to keeping operational documents up to date, which are necessary for the efficient operation of the Regional Control Center (RCC).

At the same time, you will participate in training to eventually lead switching operations independently.In addition, a training program within dispatching will be provided and tailored to your experience, so that you can obtain the necessary qualifications to ensure the operation of the high-voltage (HV) grid.

Once you have obtained the required certifications, knowledge, and competencies, you can strengthen the team for day shifts. Over time, a transition to full shift work is possible.
