System Specialist – Operational Technology

Seize this exciting opportunity to become a key player in the “engine room” of the green transition – apply now to become an OT System Specialist at [xxxxx].

As part of the OT Team, you will play a vital role in ensuring the efficient implementation and reliable operation of OT systems on utility-scale renewable energy plants. The reliable operation of wind, solar, energy storage, and Power-to-X plants is crucial for securing an energy system entirely powered by renewable energy, and the OT infrastructure forms a foundation for this.

With [xxxxx], you will be part of an expanding company that plays a major role in the global expansion of wind, solar, and Power-to-X plants. We develop, build, and operate plants globally, and since 2004, we have installed renewable energy plants worth more than 18 billion DKK, reaching 900 employees in 2025.

The Role

Working within OT, you will tie together the IT, automation, and process subject competencies. The common mission for construction projects and operating assets is to ensure efficient and reliable operation of the infrastructure by standardizing the systems across technologies and geographies.

Reporting to the Head of OT, you will collaborate closely with external and internal technicians and specialists within the various subsystems in BESS and solar plants regarding design, implementation, and operation of control systems, protection devices, and primary systems such as inverters.

Additionally, you will play a key role in analyzing unexpected plant behaviour or incidents concerning process control and signalling in the early operational phase and determining root causes.

Areas of Responsibility

• Specification and selection of OT devices, control systems and other plant infrastructure, securing standardisation across technologies.
• Coordinating signal exchange with relevant stakeholders.
• Performing operational tests and verifying functionality and security during commissioning.
• Updating functional requirements for hardware and control systems with lessons learned in dialogue with suppliers.
• Following up on incidents and issues with potential system changes for improved resilience.
• Contributing technical perspectives in risk assessments and data acquisition strategy, including logging and redundancy.
• Providing technical support during audits and acting as a System Owner on certain systems.

About You

We imagine you have experience with engineering, IT, or automation combined with an interest in energy systems. You have 2-5 years of experience in OT or similar fields such as building automation or SCADA engineering, with hands-on work with PLCs, RTUs, SCADA software, or similar systems. We expect that you have basic proficiency in the OSI model and experience in troubleshooting relevant industrial protocols.

Furthermore, you possess:

• Basic data processing skills in Python or similar.
• Knowledge of frameworks such as IEC 62443.
• In-depth understanding and experience with IEC 60870, IEC 61850, Modbus, OPC-UA, DNP3, and MQTT.
• Experience with BESS solutions is an advantage.
• Strong stakeholder management skills.
• A driver’s license for a passenger car.
• Full professional proficiency in English; proficiency in Danish or German is a plus.

As a person, you possess a holistic and curious approach to daily tasks and challenges. You are skilled at communicating the importance of OT to colleagues, and you are patient if the path to the goal is not straightforward. You quickly acquire a basic understanding of new systems or functions, thanks to your ability to learn rapidly.
