Strategy Advisor
At TenneT, we are building the energy system of tomorrow.
As a Strategy Advisor you provide broad-based advice and recommendations on policies, standards and practices within their functional area to improve organisational performance and efficiency. Furthermore you will support informed decision-making by delivering insights, solutions and best practices that align within the context of their functional area and the business unit(s) within their scope.
Our task is clear. We need to enable and prepare for the future, to guarantee a stable, reliable and resilient grid as part of the future energy system. The end‑state of our grid is envisioned in our strategic vision Target Grid 2045. This vision requires new ways of designing, operating and maintaining the power system, supported by advanced digitalisation and transformation initiatives.
Digital Twin technology plays a key role in this transformation. It enables faster and smarter grid design, more efficient operation and maintenance, and better‑informed decision making by continuously mirroring the physical grid in digital systems for analysis.
As a Strategy Advisor in the Innovation and Sustainability team, you will contribute to shaping and accelerating this transformation. You will translate strategic ambitions and research outcomes into coherent transformation roadmaps, architectural principles, and implementation trajectories that will embed Digital Twin capabilities across TenneT in a structured way.
