Student Assistant in our Control Center - night shift position

Nordic RCC is looking for candidates 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?

The position will mainly cover the operator position during the shift from 21.00 PM- 07.15 AM during both weekdays, weekends and holiday periods. The shifts, of individually 10.25 hours length, are distributed throughout the operator team. The schedule is planned and updated 3 times a year, securing at least a planned period of 4 months into the future. You can expect an average of around 70-80 working hours per month.

You will be working alone in the office during the shifts, with an on-call colleague standby to assist in any technical matters if needed.

If you can say yes to the above, then 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.

You will join a team of young, diverse, and enthusiastic colleagues of currently more than 20 nationalities, and at times work in virtual teams with expert colleagues from the Nordic TSOs and potentially from all of Europe.

We are not looking for a specific educational background, but an engineering or similar technical or data-scientific background is preferred.

Whether you are in your bachelor’s program, or master’s degree program, that is not critically important. What is more important is your profile as a whole and how you are assessed to fit within the Nordic RCC organization.

Key responsibilities for the operator role will be

• Participating in the 24/7 control center shift roster: mainly covering the night hours 21.00 - 07.15.
• 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. Next morning at 07.00, the morning operator will relieve you from your shift responsibility.
• 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, including through routinely joining parallel shift during office hours to train in all NRCC services under the guidance of operators.
• Interface to the Nordic TSOs control centers.
• Cooperation with the TSOs securing the process of services.
• Trouble shooting and fixing challenges in the services together with NRCC IT support.
• KPI recording and reporting, weekly and monthly.
• Aid the back-office operators in small tasks, such as visit approval to the core room.

Additional tasks and involvement

Depending on the flexibility and the competence of the candidate, together with the department needs, there will be an opportunity to be involved in other areas of responsibility. This way one will get a better understanding of the NRCC in general and meet fellow NRCC colleagues during normal business hours.

Other working areas, depending on department needs, can be

• Involvement in testing 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 open-minded, international mindset and 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.

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.
