    Your role in the team

    • As the HV Systems Expert - Central Control Room (CCR), you act as the technical expert for switching operations and power system control across the central network operations of our offshore wind farms.
    • Your focus is on ensuring safe, standardized, and efficient operations while continuously improving operational processes and technical capabilities within the Control Room.
    • You work closely with the site's Responsible Electrical Person (REP/VEFK) and the shift-based HV Operators, providing expert guidance and technical support without being part of the operational shift rotation.
    • You ensure the safe and efficient operation of high- and medium-voltage network control systems as well as wind turbine monitoring, while continuously improving the associated operational processes.
    • Acting as the operational interface, you work closely with transmission system operators and internal as well as external stakeholders to coordinate day-to-day grid operations.
    • You define, implement, and optimize processes related to switching permits, switching programs, and operational and work authorization procedures in close collaboration with the Responsible Electrical Person (REP/VEFK).
    • You act as the deputy for the Head of the Control Room (CCR) and serve as the extended arm of the Lead Responsible Electrical Person (Lead REP/Lead VEFK), ensuring that all requirements defined by the REP as well as applicable RAN Offshore Wind Park standards and regulations are consistently implemented and adhered to by the Control Room and its HV Operators.
    • You provide technical guidance, coaching, and continuous development for HV Operators across all shifts, fostering best practice sharing and operational excellence.
    • You plan and deliver training, qualification, and development programs, actively contributing to knowledge building and capability development within the team.
    • As the Key User for SCADA and control systems, you lead implementation projects—including the commissioning of new wind farms and the introduction of new SCADA systems and operational tools—and act as the primary contact for IT/OT, external service providers, and the integration of new wind farms.
    • You analyze operational events, complex faults, and deviations, derive sustainable improvement measures, and provide support for day-to-day switching operations when required.
