For TenneT, we are looking for a:
Project Systems Engineering Advisor

Large Projects Offshore (LPO):
Based on the Energy agreement, where the targets and intentions for the transition to a more renewable energy supply are set, the Roadmap Offshore wind energy 2030 and the ambition to realise additional windcapacity prior to 2030 a roll-out strategy is being prepared for the medium term, including the IJmuiden Ver (DC) projects. This results in a commitment for TenneT to realise at least 2x (with potential up to 5) 2GW HVDC Grid Connection Systems which bring the power from offshore wind-farms in the North sea to the Dutch electricity grid to be commissioned between 2028 - 2030.

The 2GW program:
Europe's energy transition is among the greatest challenges of our time. Its goal: To make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 at the latest. The Netherlands and Germany have therefore set themselves ambitious goals to expand offshore wind energy: as early as 2030, Germany and the Netherlands want to reach a capacity of 30 and 22.2 Gigawatts, respectively. Energy from offshore wind farms in the European powerhouse North Sea will play in this a crucial role. TenneT guarantees that this energy will reach the mainland - and in the most environmentally friendly way possible. That is why we have developed the 2GW program with a unique transnational approach. And thus increase the pace and efficiency of the energy transition.

Between 2028 and 2031, TenneT will realize the following 525 kV bipolar connections of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) with a capacity of 2 GW each in designated wind areas in the Dutch and German North Sea. These projects are part of the 2GW Program.\

What will you be doing?
As Project Systems Engineering Advisor you will be part of TenneT’s project team in applying Systems Engineering during the design phase of the project and specifically to capture and describe all relevant requirements and verification & validation results in cooperation with the team members and stakeholders. You will be reporting directly to the Lead information management.

• Guide and support the project team on applying Systems Engineering during de design phase (focus: pre-contract phase)
• Interview internal and external stakeholders to capture (customer) requirements (like municipalities, contractors, etc)
• Applying SE-techniques on the project, among others: functional analysis, system analysis, interface analysis, RAMS-analysis, verification and validation methods
• Define and structure the project breakdowns, among others: system breakdown, functional breakdown, interfaces, work breakdown
• Structure and formulate ‘SMART’ requirements, including verification and validation methods, in cooperation with the team members and relevant specialists
• Instructing the Requirement Engineer(s) within the project team
• Secure the structure and content of baselines of CRS, SRS, CRS and V&V-reports.
Bottom line: The candidate will be collecting stakeholder needs, will be in chare of checking appropriate licensing, verification and validation.

Lighting the way ahead together.** We are committed 24/7, 365 days a year to ensuring a safe and reliable supply of electricity, now and in the future. This is the world of TenneT. As a leading European grid operator, we design, build, maintain, and operate the high-voltage grid in the Netherlands and large parts of Germany, playing a key role in the energy transition. With 23,500 kilometers of high-voltage connections on land and at sea and nearly 5,000 employees, we ensure the daily power supply for more than 42 million end users. TenneT has so many innovative projects planned now and in the coming years that we are always looking for driven professionals.
