You implement smaller data projects independently and work closely with internal (e.g. IT, software development) and external partners (e.g. universities, start-ups). Where necessary, you also provide hands-on support in the planning and installation of IoT sensors on our assets.

Completed studies in engineering or a comparable qualification. A degree in electrical engineering is an advantage.
At least 5 years of professional experience in data/analytics and experience in project management and stakeholder management.
Very good programming skills (e.g. Python, PySpark, SQL, PowerBI) and experience with data platforms (e.g. Databricks).
Experience with IoT, system architectures, and visualisation of live data is an advantage.
Experience in physical asset management and operation of power grids is an advantage.
Knowledge of the energy sector and interest in new technological developments.
