Elia Group,
Berlin

Take part in shaping the Transition
System Operator of the Future and lead the way to a new digital
system in the energy sector.

Digitalization breaks down boundaries: The TSO of
the future will be a fully digital system where borders will fade
away both between different business units as well as between
different steps in the energy value chain. Therefore, we are
preparing our infrastructure for a data intensive future. For Elia
Group, the digital transformation is a strategic choice to ensure
the management of the system of the future. Check out our projects
on http://innovation.elia.be/.

The Innovation Manager (f/m/d) takes new initiatives, experiments
and thinks beyond set structures and boundaries. If you find these
characteristics in yourself and if you have entrepreneurial
experience either in a start-up or in a larger company, or if you
are an entrepreneur at heart, you might be our future Innovation
Manager.

The required ambitious infrastructure extension to better integrate
renewables, coupled with the continuous need of asset-maintenance
is raising many challenges to which innovative solutions could have
the answer. Artificial intelligence to predict maintenance, virtual
reality to better prepare construction or drones / robots for
inspection are only a few examples of what innovation can bring to
our business. Therefore, we are then looking at accelerating
innovation development in the field of Asset management and
infrastructure development.
