Job Description: Data Migration Project Manager – Asset
Alliander context
The Netherlands runs on energy. And by 2050, it will run entirely on renewable energy. It is up to the network companies and all our partners to help make this Energy Transition possible. And we are working hard on that. For example, by managing and adapting our energy grids. By providing the data and services that our customers, governments, and partners need. We do this so that everyone who needs energy—or can supply it—can do so or receive it. At the same time, we ensure that the energy system as a whole remains reliable, affordable, and accessible to everyone. Now and in the more sustainable Netherlands of tomorrow. Serving our customers and achieving our goals requires a future-proof and robust information infrastructure.

Alliander committed to digitalization early on to facilitate the energy transition, with teams that develop, implement, and manage digital solutions. These include apps for field technicians and municipalities, as well as advanced algorithms for investment optimization and preventing bottlenecks in the power grid. However, for part of our information provision, we are still dependent on outdated systems with complex interfaces and data that is difficult to access. That is why we will be replacing and upgrading our core IT systems over the next five years.

Fit4Future
Alliander has launched a program called Fit4Future to prepare its IT foundation for the future. Fit4Future consists of four separate (but complementary) programs: 1) ERP, 2) Data, 3) IAM, and 4) Asset.

Asset Program
This is a role within the Asset program. The Asset program aims to introduce a new, standardized asset registration process with a future-proof Asset IT landscape. The program consists of multiple epics, including Epic 3. In this epic, we are focused on selecting and implementing an EAM (including APM)/FSM system. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Field Service Management (FSM) systems help Alliander manage assets and services, but they have different areas of focus. In Epic 3, we are collaborating with an external vendor.

The Role
