Manager Local Scenario Data & Long-Term Forecasting

Reference ID:  8348

Function

 

Elia aims to become a data-driven organisation in order to achieve its strategic objectives. The mission of Grid Development within the Customers, Markets & System department is to develop the grid infrastructure of the future within the context of the energy system's transition to net zero. The energy revolution goes hand in hand with the advent of new technologies for both load and generation and the emergence of many small new players.

 

The roadmap towards net zero has been reflected in European climate goals and transformed to the national level. However, for Elia the addition of a more granular locational view is key for our mission as a (local) transmission system operator, even when these small players are not directly connected to the Elia grid. This local information is crucial for making forecasts of electrification, estimating future energy consumption, determining the need for local flexibility, etc.

 

Within the Grid Development department, it is the role of the Scenarios, Processes & Data team to make the translation from national to local data and to design models for the implementation of renewables, the advent of electrification and the development of flexibility means. We are currently looking for a new manager to lead the Scenarios, Processes & Data team at Grid Development. You will be responsible for defining the strategy of the team, the development of the team members, coordination of projects with 3rd parties and ensuring compliance with regulation.

 

Your responsibilities:

 

  • Define and be responsible for the strategic plan of the team, in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders.
  • Identify long term FTE needs for the team in order to achieve the strategic ambitions.
  • Make the trade-off between insourcing and outsourcing.

  • Define team members’ objectives in line with the strategy of GD.
  • Oversee daily operations.
  • Ensure the team complies with legal requirements.
  • Coordinate initiatives with 3rd parties such as DSO’s.
