2 weeks ago


Sønderborg Kommune, Denmark Better Energy Full time

We are looking for a Power Plant Control Specialist to make an impact that matters.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-growth company with a unique business model in a workplace where you can truly make a difference. We are currently 500+ employees across 31 different nationalities and counting, and we are looking for a Power Plant Control Specialist to join the Operational Technology team which is a part of the Operational Management department, and to spend a significant time assisting the Commissioning team.

We’re not hired. We join.

Operational Technology is responsible for the digital infrastructure in Better Energy’s power plants and control room, including SCADA and data networking. We work closely with the rest of the Operational Management department to ensure that our plants are running optimally.

Furthermore, the Power Plant Control Specialist will work closely with the Commissioning and Engineering teams (part of EPC) to develop plant controllers for new plants.

This role would ideally be located either in Sønderborg or Kolding. However, we welcome applications from Copenhagen, Malmö or Gdansk.

While many tasks can be performed remotely, occasional traveling on-site to plants should be expected.

How you will make a difference in Better Energy

As our new colleague, you will maintain the power plant controller in all Better Energy’s operational power plants. These are primarily PV plants, but we are also developing hybrid power plants (PV & BESS & Wind). The specialist will maintain control software to comply with grid codes and optimise operations, including the provision of ancillary services.

Your main tasks and responsibilities will include:

  • Specify requirements for software to control PV inverters, and hybrid power plants
  • Specify requirements to the park controller hardware
  • Troubleshoot when the controls do not perform as expected
  • System integration
  • Maintain control algorithms to ensure consistency with plant models
  • Establish and maintain communication interfaces towards SCADA, BRP and Network Operator
  • Maintain high availability of park controller by performing corrective and preventative maintenance
  • Backup / Restore / Patch firmware of park controller
  • Document changes to controller implementations

So, who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will have the following professional qualifications:

  • Knowledge of real-time industrial controls
  • Experience using industrial communication protocols
  • Time-series data analysis
  • Experience with Codesys is an advantage

Additionally, we find it important that you possess the following competencies:

  • Security-minded
  • Knowledge of the electrical energy systems an advantage
  • Able to work independently
  • Able to maintain remote working relationships
  • Comfortable with change
  • Proficient in English; ability to understand spoken Danish expected over time frame of max. 2 years

When joining Better Energy, you must be ready to drive change and make an impact that matters. You share our drive and commitment, and you are enthusiastic about joining a company with a broad professional foundation where we collaborate across departments and professional backgrounds. Like us, you are passionate about your work, and you share our vision of engineering a sustainable future.

This is, of course, a wish list from our side. If you do not match every criterion, please do not be discouraged from applying. Let us know why we would be a great match and what you uniquely can bring to the table.

Our promise to you

Working at Better Energy should be inspiring, fun and guided by purpose. We ensure this by hiring great people from a wide variety of backgrounds and continuously developing our company culture and benefits scheme. Our People team is dedicated to making sure that you feel great about going to work and it is their mission to make Better Energy one of the top employers in the world.

Want to join our team?

Guided by our mission, we have set out to strengthen ecosystems and accelerate the green transition at the same time. We measure our sustainability and regenerative efforts using the Future-Fit benchmark. We see you have an important role in this mission.

We encourage a diverse culture and invite all qualified applicants to apply regardless of age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, country of origin or ethnicity.
