The energy transition is impossible without you as a Gas B Network Specialist

As a Gas Network Specialist, you will primarily carry out work during the design phase of projects related to gas networks. You will proactively advise and guide the Large-Scale Consumption, Small-Scale Consumption, and Implementation & Networks teams on matters related to energy distribution networks and connections. You will monitor and evaluate technical applications in accordance with standardization and regulatory policies.

You are capable of independently creating complex network designs or performing network calculations, thereby contributing to the transition to a sustainable gas network that responds to developments related to the energy transition. As a Gas Network Specialist B, you will play a role in this effort. Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting and guiding engineers, project managers, workflow managers, team leaders, and asset management personnel in making the right technical decisions regarding quality, safety, and network infrastructure
• You do this primarily during the design phase, using network calculations based on customer demand in accordance with policies and regulations.
• In addition, you will serve as the link between Construction and Asset Management and represent the Construction team within the Asset and Component Groups and external consultation groups. Providing training and information to the GV, KV, and R&N chains is also an important part of your role.

You’ll be working on nationwide projects, but that doesn’t mean you’ll actually be traveling all over the country. Your work location will depend on your home address.

This is how we safely and reliably supply energy to households, businesses, and our other customers. You can only look ahead with exceptional foresight if you have enough energy—and the right work environment gives you that.

You just make it more energetic

• HBO-level work and thinking skills, with a completed degree in a technical field;
• Preferably 5 years of work experience in a technical role in a gas-related environment, for example as a Gas Engineer B;
• Knowledge of gas distribution systems and the applicable laws and regulations governing them;
• Customer focus comes naturally to you. You understand that everything we do ultimately affects our customers, and you act accordingly;
• Familiarity with the systems and software available at Alliander;
• Experience working for a grid operator or, for example, Gasunie is a plus;

Just better arranged for you

For that, you get based on a 40-hour work week:

• A gross monthly salary ranging from €4,164 to €6,674 (pay scale 8 or 9, depending on your experience).
• An annual individual choice budget (IKB) of 18% (full-time) or 12.8% (part-time) of your gross annual salary. This includes an 8% vacation allowance. You can choose to have this amount paid out, or you can use it to purchase additional days off, for example. You decide what works best for you;
• 24.5 vacation days per year, with ample opportunity to add more using your IKB;
• a year-end bonus in December equal to 6% of your annual salary;
• Every year, you receive a DI budget of €700 for your long-term employability. For example, you can use it to cover the costs of your sports or hobbies, make your home more sustainable and eco-friendly, or reduce your student loan debt with DUO. You decide how to use your budget;
• A pension plan with ABP, specifically for government and education employees. We pay 70% of your pension contribution;
