OT O&M Manager – Information & Data

Company Description

Vattenfall is a leading European energy company driving the transition to a sustainable energy system. We have been electrifying industries, powering homes and transforming life through innovation for more than 100 years. We employ around 21 000 people mostly in our core markets in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK.

Job Description

Do you want to help turn operational data into reliable insights that support the safe and efficient operation of our wind assets? We’re looking for an OT O&M Manager for Information & Data to lead the services that make critical operational information available, reliable and ready to support better decisions across Business Area Wind.

Reliable operational information and data are essential for running and managing Business Area Wind’s assets. They enable operational decision-making, performance monitoring, reporting, engineering and the exchange of information with internal and external stakeholders.

We are looking for an OT O&M (Operation and Maintenance) Manager for Information & Data within the OT team in Business Area Wind. This is an operational management role with end-to-end accountability for the performance, availability, reliability and continuous improvement of this business-critical service area.

You do not need to be the technical expert in every information and data domain. You do, however, need a strong understanding of OT environments and data-driven services and the ability to lead technical teams, challenge and support specialists, set priorities, make decisions and ensure that issues are driven through to resolution.

For this role, leadership, Accountability and Proactivity are as important as technical understanding. You will create the structure and momentum needed to deliver reliable information and data services.

The OT Information & Data service area is responsible for making operational data and digital asset information available, reliable and usable across Business Area Wind. The service area connects local assets, fleet operations and enterprise consumers while supporting controlled information exchange with external authorities and joint-venture partners.

The scope includes operational data provisioning and integration, data quality management, enterprise engineering services, operational reporting, advanced data-driven solutions and lifecycle management of OT information and data.

Be in your element with BA Wind

As part of BA Wind you will play a key role in one of the most exciting pipelines in the industry with 24GW of capacity stretching out more than a decade ahead across our key European markets.

You won’t only be involved in developing projects but pioneering cutting-edge innovation, new business models and ways of working with communities and the environment. Working as part of a leading European utility also means you could be helping a growing number of major businesses and brands achieve their own sustainability goals through partnerships.

Qualifications

Your role
You will take end-to-end ownership of the OT Information & Data service area and ensure that operational data and digital asset information remain available, reliable and usable for teams across Business Area Wind. You will set clear priorities for the service area, lead and develop service managers, engineers and domain experts, and create the governance needed to manage performance, risks, costs and dependencies. A key part of the role is to shape the service strategy and roadmap, balancing stable day-to-day delivery with lifecycle needs and the operationalisation of new data-driven solutions. Working across OT, Operations, IT, Cybersecurity, Engineering, projects and suppliers, you will bring the right expertise together, resolve issues and ensure improvements are followed through to completion.

Your tasks and responsibilities: 

• Take end-to-end accountability for the OT Information & Data service area, including its performance, availability, reliability, cost and continuous improvement.
• Lead and develop the service area team, setting clear priorities and expectations while empowering service managers, engineers and domain experts to deliver within their areas of expertise.
• Drive operational performance, ensuring service risks, data-quality issues, dependencies and improvement needs are proactively identified, prioritised and followed through to resolution.
• Own the service strategy and roadmap, including priorities, budget, resources, lifecycle needs and the development of information and data services in line with Business Area Wind’s operational requirements.
• Manage the OT Information & Data service portfolio, ensuring reliable standard services while enabling new and advanced data-driven solutions to be operationalised and scaled.
• Provide effective operational governance, using service performance, risks, KPIs and expert input to make decisions, manage priorities and ensure clear accountability.
• Manage stakeholders and interfaces across Business Area Wind, bringing together data and analytics, OT, Operations, IT, Cybersecurity, Engineering, projects, suppliers and business stakeholders to resolve issues and deliver results.
• Drive continuous improvement in services, processes, data quality and ways of working, ensuring OT Information & Data remains reliable and fit for future business needs.

Your profile / who are you? 

You combine a solid understanding of OT information and data environments with leadership experience from complex operational settings. You are comfortable taking Accountability for a broad service area without needing to be the technical expert in every domain. Instead, you create clarity, set priorities and empower specialists to deliver within their areas of expertise. With Proactivity, Collaboration, Composure and a Solution-Oriented approach, you use performance information, risks and expert input to make informed decisions and keep topics moving. You build strong relationships across technical teams, business functions and suppliers, and you are motivated by improving service reliability, data quality and ways of working over time.

Next to this you bring:

• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in operational management, O&M, IT/OT service management, information and data management, engineering management or asset management, preferably within energy or another asset-intensive industry.
• Experience leading technical teams or services in a complex operational environment, with a track record of improving performance and driving issues through to resolution.
• A good understanding of OT information and data environments, sufficient to lead specialists, understand risks and dependencies, challenge recommendations and make informed decisions.
• Strong service-management capabilities, including operational performance, governance, risk management, lifecycle planning and continuous improvement.
• Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical teams, business functions, suppliers and management.
