We are looking for an energy system expert within our Energy & Utilities practice with extensive knowledge or experience within the DSO or TSO domain. As a consultant, you'll directly start at one of our clients and play a role in the transition of the Energy sector towards the 'New Energy Reality'. This new reality is characterised by new ways of energy generation, transportation, distribution, and changing customer behaviour. Grid operators have to anticipate and tackle the challenges that this transition brings. As a consultant, you are ready for the next step in your career in the area of integrated energy system planning, business analysis and project management. You get excited by the latest Dutch offshore wind targets (21GW in 2030), the infrastructural challenges that come with it, and the other necessary storage and conversion solutions to provide system flexibility. You want to contribute to the realisation of the energy transition, and you are familiar with the activities that grid operators undertake to anticipate the energy transition challenges. At the client, you'll work on projects related to developing the ability and toolkit to deal with issues like long-term grid planning, system integration (power and gas sectors), and shaping energy policies. You are directly contributing to the grid planning decisions that address costs, socio-economic welfare, and CO2 changes in the energy system. The work often requires a combination of strong stakeholder management, business analysis, project management, integrated energy system optimization, data analysis and reporting. Preferably, you have already worked as a consultant (for a grid operator) and are familiar with the concepts of integrated energy system planning. You will have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge on different domains within the energy sector. Aside from your client mission, you will help to develop our team, by contributing to our strategy, business development, recruitment, knowledge sharing and training. This ensures a highly dynamic job with plenty of opportunities to learn and develop personally.
