To operations consultants/specialists – OT and Automation

We operate and develop critical infrastructure that ensures the supply of electricity, water, and heat to all of Greenland every day. Our energy system consists of diesel, hydropower, solar, wind, and battery solutions distributed across 70 independent power grids, which places high demands on stable, secure, and standardized OT and SRO systems.

Therefore, we are looking for two operational consultants with an interest in and experience with OT, automation, and control systems, who wish to work with critical infrastructure and contribute to the ongoing development of our technical platforms.

As an operational consultant, you will be part of Production Support at the headquarters in Nuuk, where you will play a central role in the development of our OT architecture, standardization of automation solutions, and technical support for our production facilities.

We are expanding the area and are therefore looking for two profiles to strengthen the technical support, standardization, and further development of our OT environment. Depending on experience and competencies, responsibilities can be distributed between the two positions to ensure we have the best professional skills in play.

At the same time, you will have the opportunity to influence the development of our OT architecture and contribute to the ongoing digitalization of our production environments.

We are looking for two profiles, and depending on experience and competencies, responsibilities can be distributed to ensure we have the best professional skills in play.

What can you expect?

You will join a strong technical team with specialists in areas such as renewable energy, hydropower, electricity distribution, electricity production, water, and heat. We emphasize professionalism, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. You will have a specialist role with significant influence on the development of the area.
