Europe’s energy transition is among the greatest challenges of our time. Its goal: To make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 at the latest. The Netherlands and Germany have therefore set themselves ambitious goals to expand offshore wind energy: as early as 2030, Germany and the Netherlands want to reach a capacity of 30 and 22.2 Gigawatts, respectively. Energy from offshore wind farms in the European powerhouse North Sea will play in this a crucial role. TenneT guarantees that this energy will reach the mainland – and in the most environmentally friendly way possible. That is why we have developed the 2GW program with a unique transnational approach. And thus increase the pace and efficiency of the energy transition.
For Tennet we are looking for a Project Lead (IT Project Manager).
BTO Department:
The TenneT Department BTO (Business Technology Organisation) is responsible for developing, realising and managing IT technology for all of TenneT.

With that in mind, we created a unit that is agile and can quickly adapt to future requirements, in an environment where employees are engaged and feel involved. Open and transparent.
The role of the unit in this is not only to meet the needs of the business, but rather to come up with new insights and ideas and help to achieve new goals more effectively and efficiently within an integral cooperation with the other units. Not only through automation, but also through data-driven decisions, standardisation and digitisation of processes.
