Function

All the energy you receive at home is transported via the Elia grid.

That’s why the greatest care must be taken with the technical assets that make up this grid.We have one of the most reliable grids in Europe, which we owe to the excellent maintenance of the network. If, despite it all, any issues do arise, our technicians are ready to carry out repairs—thanks to them, we can guarantee electricity transport 24/7.

  • You are a team player and ready for a tailor-made challenge.
  • You have a category B driving license.
  • You are willing to work in the East and West Flanders regions.
