• Monitor production assets and available generation capacity.
• Support the exchange of operational data between transmission system operators and the real-time SCADA platform.
• Calculate and transmit real-time setpoints to power plants based on production planning, live acquisition data and balancing signals such as FCR, aFRR and mFRR.
• Design, develop and maintain SCADA applications that support real-time balancing activities.
• Contribute to both front-end and back-end development using SCIL, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Apply sound architecture principles to deliver scalable, robust and resilient solutions.
• Use software craftsmanship principles such as SOLID, DRY, KISS and YAGNI to keep the codebase maintainable and sustainable.
• Work in an Agile/SAFe setup together with analysts, operators and technical stakeholders.
• After onboarding, join an on-call rotation to help guarantee 24/7 availability and operational continuity.

Your profile

• You hold a master’s degree in IT and/or electrical engineering, for example in software, electronics or electromechanics.
• You have at least 3 years of relevant experience.
• You combine an industrial mindset with strong software engineering capabilities, including architecture and design patterns.
• You understand the fundamentals of electricity generation and grid transport.
• You work proactively and in a structured way, with strong attention to stability in a high-responsibility environment.
• You are prepared to support critical incidents when needed and can first provide a quick fix, followed by a sustainable solution where appropriate.
• You are motivated to work in a team responsible for real-time operations.
• You collaborate effectively with peers, analysts, architects, business stakeholders and other teams.
• You learn quickly, take initiative and actively contribute to improvements in the environment and ways of working.
• You communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing, with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

Offer

You will be part of a growing Belgian SME where initiative and personal development are encouraged. We will provide you with an enjoyable work environment with fun colleagues.
