At TenneT, we work on an energy supply that keeps the Netherlands moving. As a Regional Process Specialist, you will make a direct impact on the future of our electricity grid. You will play a key role in the commissioning of grid expansions required for the energy transition.

You connect people, processes, and interests. You are the link between the Design, Onshore/Offshore, and Operate divisions, ensuring that solutions are not only technically correct but also workable in practice. You work together with colleagues on a robust and future-proof electricity grid.

As a Regional Process Specialist, you ensure that grid expansions land well within operations, so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on reliable and sustainable energy. You represent Operate in multidisciplinary teams within TenneT's regions and help realize projects successfully and in a future-proof manner. The vacancy is now open for the West-North (North Holland) region (1 FTE).

In your new role:

• You connect Operate's interests with stakeholders - Within the multidisciplinary teams, you assess whether solutions are not only technically feasible but also function well in operations.
• You take responsibility in decision-making and guide compliance and verification processes - You take a stand and dare to have the conversation when interests clash. You approve tollgates and guide the part of the tests for the operational aspects that new connections to the TenneT grid must undergo.
• You ensure a smooth transition to operations (MoC) - You arrange a smooth intake and planning of important project milestones (such as FAT/SAT/GBT/IBN) and ensure that assets become well-manageable in operations. You work closely with application managers, including those of the SCADA system.
• You improve processes and documentation where necessary - You identify bottlenecks in the Management of Change process and take the initiative to improve processes. You do not wait, but you make it better.
• You are a visible point of contact for Operate within Design, Onshore & Offshore - Due to your knowledge and broad network, people know how to find you. You help others with common questions at the intersection of primary and secondary installations and operations.

At TenneT, we look for professionals who combine substantive knowledge with the ability to connect and have the courage to speak up.

• You oversee complexity, can zoom out, and switch between detail and the big picture.
• You dare to share a clear opinion, you ask critical questions, even when it is tense, and you actively contribute to better decisions.
• You move smoothly within the organization and ensure that the right people are involved at the right time.
• You understand different perspectives and know how to arrive at workable solutions that have broad support.
• You monitor operational processes. When deviations are detected in operational processes, you show ownership and take the necessary action within the chain.
• You record processes in a structured, clear, and concise manner.
