About the Role

Do you want a central and driving role in a company that is developing the power grid of the future? If you want to help develop a modern power grid with high delivery security and efficiency – we would love to hear from you.

The power grid industry is facing its biggest change in decades. Electrification, increased power demands, cybersecurity, and new requirements for flexibility are changing how the power grid of the future needs to be planned and operated. We are now looking for a Strategic Grid Developer who wants to take collective responsibility for the long-term development, capacity, and efficiency of the grid in close collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders.

Here, you will be one of the key figures in the development of the future power grid operations and have significant influence on strategic choices, working methods, and priorities. You combine technical expertise with strategic responsibility and business development, where you have overall responsibility for grid planning, connections, and grid development.

The role is broad and focuses on strategic analysis and development work. You work closely with operations, maintenance, projects, finance, and management, serving as a crucial link between technology, business, and IT support. The role can be adapted somewhat depending on your experience and strengths, but you are expected to take overall responsibility within your area. Examples of responsibilities for the role include:

• Responsibility for long-term grid planning, grid analyses, capacity assessments, and identification of reinvestment and grid reinforcement needs.
• Develop forecasts, grid development plans, and solutions related to flexibility and future power demands.
• Coordinating work within the group related to physical security and information security.
• Act as technical and strategic support to the organization and the Head of Power Grid, including work related to security protection and cybersecurity within the group.
• Coordinate major connection cases and represent the company in dialogue with municipalities, authorities, business life, and industry forums.
• Drive the development of processes, working methods, digital tools, and data-driven business development.
• Initiate and lead improvement and development projects within the power grid operations.
• A power operations manager role may be included in the position, as well as work related to electrical safety, working environment, and compliance with regulations (e.g., ESA).
• The role is part of the Head of Power Grid's strategic staff and works closely with management and steering groups.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have an academic education in electric power, energy systems, electrical engineering, or have equivalent experience from working in a power grid company. We see that you have:

• Experience with grid planning, grid analyses, and power assessments within power grid operations.
• Good understanding of power grid regulation, connection processes, and future capacity challenges in the energy system.
• Ability to work strategically and translate analyses into long-term development and investment needs.
• Interest in digitalization, data analysis, and the development of efficient working methods.
• Good ability to collaborate and communicate with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Experience with NIS-systems (e.g., dpPower, DigPro, NetBas, or similar) is meritorious.
• Experience with flexibility issues, production, energy storage, or major connections is meritorious.
• Authorization is meritorious.
• Category B driver's license.
• Good knowledge of Swedish in speech and writing.
