Structured, open minded and team oriented
Ideally, you have an IT-related education and +5 years of experience within IT infrastructure.

We work with a wide range of technologies, for example Active Directory, Windows Server, DMZ, MSSQL, VMware, Kubernetes, SharePoint, Linux RHEL. It is therefore important that you have a broad technical profile with a good knowledge of several of the above technologies.

Nordic RCC is an international office, so fluency in spoken and written English is required as well as a motivation for working in an international environment.

Other key skills are:

• Knowledge of the energy or regulated sector is an advantage but not a prerequisite.
• Broad conceptual knowledge of technologies.
• Ability to recognize challenges early and proactively seek solutions.

On a personal level you are open-minded, team oriented, take responsibility and aim to build trust. You are structured and appreciate a fast-paced environment from time to time.

You are proactive, analytic, positive and result-oriented, with a structured approach to your work as well as familiar with working in diverse cultures.

Our values of fellowship, curiosity, respect, and transparency have been defined by all employees. They identify how we behave and shape the way we work together, and we expect you to see yourself in them.

The job requires security clearance which will be facilitated by Nordic RCC.

Nordic RCC context
Nordic RCC is a private company but established by EU regulation. Focus differs from a “normal” private company as the main task is not to identify new profit optimizing services. Rather, the goal is to continuously develop services according to legal requirements and (importantly) in a way which adds value to our service recipients (TSOs) and, in the end, to Nordic societies.

This makes the environment that Nordic RCC works in complex, but also highly motivating and engaging, as we are all generally focused on value creation for society in a time where electricity is in focus (security of supply, prices, and energy transition).

We are looking for a candidate who is motivated by this. The candidate is not expected to grasp the complexity and the content of the core business in advance. This understanding will develop over time, and depending on the wishes of the candidate, there will be opportunities for training in the energy systems, markets, etc.

You can read more about Nordic RCC and the services we deliver on our website https://nordic-rcc.net or in our Annual report for 2023 https://nordic-rcc.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Nordic_RCC_Annual_Report_2023.pdf

An international and flexible working environment
You will join an organization of competent, diverse, and enthusiastic colleagues of 22 nationalities. You will also be working in virtual teams with expert colleagues from the Nordic TSOs, and potentially from all of Europe.

Your daily workplace will be in our newly furnished office premises in Copenhagen Towers, Ørestad. We are offering workplace flexibility to ensure a healthy work-life balance including the possibility of working from home some of your worktime.
