The energy transition demands smart, decisive professionals. In the Data & Analytics team, we ensure that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and (re)usable, and we translate this data into data-driven solutions so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on a reliable electricity grid tomorrow. Will you contribute to this as an experienced Data Engineer?

How do you keep the Netherlands powered?

As an experienced Data Engineer, you ensure that data from various sources becomes available for analyses, reports, AI applications, and processes within TenneT in a reliable, secure, and scalable manner. But you are no ordinary "pipeline" builder: you actively contribute to the development of the data foundation and the cloud platform upon which data-driven decision-making within TenneT is based.

You translate business needs into data products, data pipelines, and data models, and you look beyond just the technology. You think about the quality, meaning, reusability, and manageability of data throughout its entire lifecycle.

Together with engineers, architects, Product Owners, and business experts, you build a future-proof data foundation for TenneT. You contribute to technical standards, help further professionalize your field, and have a direct impact on the way data is deployed to make the electricity grid smarter and more reliable.

As an experienced Data Engineer, you are one of the technical experts within the team. You play an important role in the design of the data platform, the development of data solutions, and making technical choices that guarantee scalability, reliability, and future-proofing.

Depending on your experience, you take responsibility for designing, developing, and managing robust data solutions. Medior engineers are given space to further develop in architecture, cloud, and DevOps issues. Senior engineers, in addition, fulfill a more guiding role regarding technical choices, standards, and knowledge sharing within the team.

Data modeling plays an important role in this. You translate business concepts and information needs into logical and physical data models and ensure coherence between the different layers of the data landscape. You make conscious choices about the way data is structured and made available, and you apply dimensional modeling, among other things, where appropriate.

You are a T-shaped professional: you have a solid foundation in Data Engineering and are curious about adjacent fields such as cloud engineering, DevOps, data modeling, data governance, and analytics. This allows you to collaborate effectively with different disciplines and continue to develop yourself in both the depth and breadth of the field.

You will be working in the Data & Analytics team within the Assets department.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

• Designing, developing, and managing scalable data products, data pipelines, and data models.
• Translating business needs and business concepts into technical solutions and consistent information models.
• Developing Data Warehouse solutions with Databricks, Apache Spark, Python, and SQL.
• Applying data modeling techniques, including dimensional modeling (Kimball), where appropriate.
• Developing production-grade solutions with attention to security, quality, testing, monitoring, deployment, and management.
• Collaborating on the further development of the TenneT Data Cloud Platform.
• You take the lead in technical designs, complex solution directions, and platform issues, and act as a sparring partner for architects, Product Owners, and other engineers.
• Working according to modern engineering principles such as Git, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automation, and code reviews.
• Actively contributing to technical standards, best practices, and the continuous improvement of the engineering way of working.
• Sharing knowledge and supporting colleagues with relevant issues.

For senior candidates, it also applies that you are used to providing technical direction, substantiating design choices, and guiding colleagues in their development.

• You make a direct contribution to the energy transition and a reliable energy supply for the Netherlands.
• You work with modern technology such as Azure, Databricks, Spark, Python, SQL, and CI/CD.
• You have influence on both technical solutions and the way we shape Data Engineering within TenneT.
• You will be given space to further develop yourself towards cloud, platform, and DevOps engineering.
• You work together with experts from different disciplines and domains.

Do you recognize yourself in this? Then we would love to meet you.

• You are an engineer who looks beyond implementing a feature or ticket.
• You want to understand why a solution is needed, what value it adds, and how it can be reliably deployed and managed in production.
• You are a curious and entrepreneurial professional who sees opportunities and takes initiative. You do not wait around, but investigate possibilities and come up with improvements that advance our data and engineering practices.
• Whether you are an experienced medior looking to grow or a senior engineer wanting to provide technical direction, you get energy from complex data issues, you enjoy collaborating, and you want to contribute to a professional engineering team that plays a key role in the energy transition.

This role falls within the IT Specialist job profile, so that it is clear for both you and TenneT which responsibilities, expectations, and growth opportunities belong to this position.

TenneT offers you the chance to contribute to a sustainable energy future. Together with colleagues, partners, and stakeholders, you will work on innovative solutions that make the energy transition possible. With us, you will get the space to develop your talent and work in an environment where your growth is central. We encourage initiative and give you the space to come up with new ideas.
