Your contribution to TenneT

You'll work across both sides of our team.

Corporate strategy

• Help track and report on the progress of TenneT's strategy execution across the yearly and five-year cycles
• Gather and structure information from across the business and turn it into clear insights for decision-making
• Support the preparation of analyses, presentations and steering documents and connect with leadership to embed our recommendations into the organisation

System strategy

• Translate external developments — the energy transition, decarbonisation, national and EU energy policy, market and system trends — into strategic insights for TenneT, and help carry TenneT's strategic positions back outwards
• Help prepare TenneT's input to national and European planning programmes and to system topics such as the position of industry, system integration and offshore grid development

You'll do this alongside experienced advisors and, over time, take ownership of your own smaller topics as you grow into the role.
