Job description

Introductie

At TenneT, we work every day on tomorrow's electricity grid.

Our goal? A reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy system. As a Regulatory Affairs Specialist, you play a crucial role in realizing this ambition.

Ready to make an impact?

In this position you will provide specialised knowledge and skills in a specific area of expertise to drive innovation and support successful execution of projects, initiatives, innovations and/or daily operations. You identify the frameworks and guidelines that apply to your specific area of expertise, translate them into a business context to enable business results, and provide guidance to ensure efficiency and compliancy.

Jouw rol

How will you help power the Netherlands?

• You will become one of the trusted advisors within TenneT, liaising with other network operators, market parties and regulatory authorities to ensure that the TenneT vision is facilitated by regulation.
• You oversee the development of network codes, guidelines, and subsequent terms and conditions or methodologies from EU legislative processes through to their implementation in the Dutch national regulatory framework. With your in-depth understanding of the European electricity system and its regulatory framework, you can translate issues in your field of expertise into practical policy proposals.
• You have, or are willing to develop, a good understanding of ENTSO-E and how it operates. You have a good understanding of the European landscape, including the playing fields of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER), the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), and fellow TSOs. You can interact smoothly with these parties.
• Furthermore, you will cooperate with international experts on the performance of legal mandates at ENTSO-E bodies, in particular the Market Committee (MC) and the "All TSOs" processes, as well as other expert and working groups or task forces. This relates particularly to topics that have an impact on several Committees or are directly controlled by the ENTSO-E Board.
• Where useful, if new areas need to be integrated into our data sharing and IT tool landscape, you will step in. This will require attention in the future, as our business is growing more complex and knowledge exchange must be ensured.
• To stay connected with the 'working floors', you will be part of an international working environment with the relevant ENTSO-E working groups that have regulatory relevance, and you will coordinate European topics that cover several business areas internally.

Waar kom je terecht

Jouw profiel & achtergrond

• A Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Economics or Law, or a comparable qualification, with an interest in energy regulation.
• You have experience in the area of electricity regulation and are ideally also familiar with other areas of the TSO and energy business, such as system operations, IT platform performance or electricity system planning.
• You have the ability to combine detailed knowledge in your area of expertise with a broad overview, and adapt your communication style to suit different levels of knowledge.
• You work in a self-driven manner, selecting the right topics to focus on, considering time management and planning of deliverables. A flexible approach to filling this position is essential.
• You are fluent in English. Knowledge of the Dutch language is a pre.
• You find inspiration in being part of a closely collaborating international team and you are willing to travel between your place of work (Arnhem or Brussels) and other places in Europe for meetings and projects.
