IntroductionAt TenneT, we are working on the electricity grid of tomorrow. As a Functional Application Manager, you play a crucial role in realizing a future-proof energy supply. From your specialism, you make a direct contribution to projects that keep the Netherlands going – today and tomorrow.

About TenneT, unit, department and teamTenneT is the leading European grid operator and plays a key role in the energy transition. With more than 23,500 kilometres of high-voltage connections and almost 5,000 employees, we ensure a safe and reliable power supply in the Netherlands and large parts of Germany.
“The energy transition requires smart, decisive professionals. In System Operations Grid Security, we work daily on improvements to monitor and control our network so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on a reliable electricity grid tomorrow. Would you like to contribute to this as a Functional Application Manager Transmission Management Systems?"
Tasks
As a Functional Application Manager Transmission Management Systems, you will be responsible for strengthening and renewing the electricity grid so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on reliable and sustainable energy.
You will be working in the DEV/OPS TMS team, which consists of 20 colleagues. Together, you will work on renewing the current Energy Management System (EMS) by implementing a Transmission Management System (TMS). The TMS consists of various applications and modules, such as systems for grid monitoring (SCADA) and network simulations (Network Applications). These simulations help us, for example, with load calculations (load flow) and analysing the electricity grid, which is essential for a stable and sustainable energy supply. Our team has a working atmosphere characterised by open communication, mutual respect and a focus on achieving common goals, with innovation and collaboration at the heart of everything we do. There is room for personal development and growth.
Together with your team, you will ensure that all changes to the system are implemented correctly. This includes adjustments to the grid visualisations and updates to the user interface. You will also work closely with colleagues to thoroughly test the new system as part of an ongoing project. After the go-live, we will switch to the DEV/OPS way of working to monitor and configure the system operationally and develop it further.

You will mainly focus on:
· Performing acceptance tests to confirm that the new Transmission Management System (TMS) meets the requirements
· Providing training and knowledge transfer to TMS users
· Managing and optimising the TMS
· Improving models and processes within the TMS to increase efficiency
· Implementing changes and configurations to the system
· Testing changes to the systems to ensure that everything is functioning properly
· Supporting the Management of Change (MoC) teams in implementing system updates and changes
