Business Project Manager

At TenneT, we work every day on tomorrow’s electricity grid. Our goal? A reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy system. As a Business Project Manager within the Control Room of the Future team (CRoF), you play a crucial role in achieving this ambition.

To prepare for the future of grid operation, TenneT has established the CRoF programme. Replacing the current EMS/SCADA system is an important part of this programme, but it is only the beginning.

The CRoF programme is developing additional functionalities, for example to manage grid dynamics and optimise grid topology using AI. These tools may be developed internally, externally with existing or new suppliers, or in collaboration with research institutes and universities. Their implementation will require close cooperation with the IT department.

To coordinate and drive the development and implementation of these new functionalities, we are looking for a Business Project Manager.
