Nordic RCC context 

Nordic RCC is established by EU regulation. Our main task is not to identify new profit optimizing services, but to continuously develop services according to legal requirements in a way which adds value to our service recipients (TSOs) and, in the end, to Nordic societies. 

This makes the environment that Nordic RCC works in complex, but also highly motivating and engaging, as we are all generally focused on value creation for society in a time where electricity is in focus (security of supply, prices, and energy transition).  

We are looking for a candidate who is motivated by this. The candidate is not expected to grasp the complexity and the content of the core business in advance. This understanding will develop over time, and depending on the wishes of the candidate, there will be opportunities for training in the energy systems, markets, etc. 

An international and flexible working environment  

You will join an organization of competent, diverse, and enthusiastic colleagues of 24 nationalities. You will also be working in virtual teams with expert colleagues from the Nordic TSOs, and potentially from all over Europe. 

Your daily workplace will be in our newly furnished office premises in Copenhagen Towers, Ørestad. We are offering workplace flexibility to ensure a healthy work-life balance including the possibility of working from home some of your worktime. 

Our values of fellowship, curiosity, respect, and transparency have been defined by all employees. They identify how we behave and shape the way we work together, and we expect you to see yourself in them. 

Application deadline and contact information 

Please apply online as soon as possible (in English) and no later than 1. November 2025. We will conduct interviews on a continuous basis.  

To ensure a fair and unbiased recruitment process, we kindly request that you do not include photographs in your CVs or application materials.
