Join the Power System Data Operations team and help ensure the reliability of the digital model of the Belgian electricity grid, which is central to grid operations and planning.\nAt Elia, we make the energy transition possible by ensuring that sustainable energy reaches everyone safely, reliably and efficiently. The development of renewable energy, batteries and flexibility, together with digitalisation and the increasing integration of the European market, is changing the needs of the power system.\nIn this context, you contribute to the development of Elia’s Digital Twin: a digital representation of the high-voltage grid used to analyse, plan and operate the power system. You improve data quality and consistency, integrate new sources of information and automate processes that support the work of operational teams.\nYour role\nYou ensure that users have an accurate, complete and reliable grid model. Your responsibilities cover five areas.\nMaintaining and improving the grid model\nDevelop the model in line with operational needs, check the quality of the data and modelling, follow up on corrections and keep the documentation up to date.\nUpdate the model weekly in DIgSILENT PowerFactory, the grid calculation and planning tool, analyse discrepancies and implement corrective actions.\nSupporting operational teams\nSupport the operators who populate the Digital Twin daily and resolve issues relating to the model, data, tools or scripts.\nAdapt procedures to changes in processes and tools, and work with software development teams to improve internal interfaces.\nSupport regional and national control centres in analysing incidents related to grid data. Identify their causes using load flow calculations, propose lasting solutions and clearly communicate their impact on grid operations.\nAutomating data exchanges\nWork with product and software development teams to develop the tools and interfaces used to manage the Digital Twin.\nFacilitate the automation of exchanges between the various sources of information and the Digital Twin, including dynamic data such as measurements, metering data and new connections.\nImproving quality and performance\nDefine and improve quality indicators, automate reporting, analyse trends and propose improvements based on technical analyses.\nSupporting the team as it evolves\nContribute to the integration of new areas of responsibility, the implementation of new modules and the adaptation of processes.\nYou work closely with regional and national control centres, Grid Development, which is responsible for long-term grid planning, and other relevant entities. These exchanges help you understand their data needs and incorporate them into the team’s work.\nWhat you bring\nYou enjoy understanding how power systems work and working with complex data. You are comfortable in an environment where data reliability and rigorous processes are essential to grid operations.\nA technical master’s degree in engineering, such as a Belgian ingénieur civil or ingénieur industriel qualification, in electrical engineering, energy or an equivalent field.\nBasic knowledge of Python or the motivation to learn quickly.\nAn interest in operational data, automation, power system modelling and analysis, and a willingness to keep up with technological developments in these areas.\nThe ability to work independently, initiative, a drive to improve processes and the ability to adapt to a changing environment.\nAn analytical mindset, attention to detail, independence and a sense of responsibility to understand complex systems and address the issues encountered.\nClear communication and a service-oriented approach to support operators and work with the different teams.\nA good command of French or Dutch, as well as English.\nWhat you will learn\nThis role will enable you to deepen your knowledge of the high-voltage grid and develop your skills in modelling with PowerFactory, automation with Python and managing data that is critical to grid operations. You will also learn to use and develop a large-scale Digital Twin.\nWhy join this team\nYou combine electrical engineering, data and digital tools in a role directly linked to grid operations. You contribute to the energy transition by improving a model used daily by Elia’s teams, while developing your technical expertise through an understanding of their needs.\nOur offer\nSalary: a competitive salary package, allowance for representation expenses, year-end bonus, double vacation pay, meal vouchers (€10 per working day), eco-vouchers, sport & culture vouchers, bonuses based on individual and group results.\nInsurance: group insurance, hospitalisation insurance, ambulant care insurance for the whole family and also personal accident insurance.\nVacation: You will be entitled to 20 vacation days and 5 additional vacation days, 6 local days, 4 exempt days (after 1 year of employment) and up to 5 long-service days (1 day for every 3 years in employment).\nSocial fund: Year-end vouchers, birth and marriage allowance. We will also cover part of the cost of glasses, a dental prosthesis or similar needs.\nCommunication: you will be given an iPhone, a phone subscription (for work and private use) and a laptop with internet reimbursement.\nDiscounts: you will enjoy a 30% discount on your gas and electricity bill.\nMobility: we will offer you a company car and public transport or a mobility budget.\nElia shares: Elia will give you the opportunity to subscribe to shares with a discount of 16.66% on the average share price. \nLocation\nSchaarbeek - Crealys - Merksem","description_format":"text","description_chars":5664,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Internet reimbursement"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Science & Engineering","Power Grid"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T11:22:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":61,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.605,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/50hertz-power-system-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/50hertz-power-system-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T02:54:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4368,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1815492},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1815492"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2F50hertz-power-system-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2F50hertz-power-system-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2F50hertz-power-system-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/50hertz-power-system-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2F50hertz-power-system-engineer"}]}
