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.
