Nordic BESS is a new and ambitious company building something the market truly needs: utility-scale battery storage solutions that provide greater flexibility to the power system and make it easier to integrate more renewable energy. With offices in Oslo and London, strong owners and a highly competent team, the company is very well positioned in a market with significant growth and major opportunities.
The company is now entering an exciting phase where operations, performance and commercial optimisation of its assets are becoming increasingly important. This is an opportunity for you to take on a central role in a company in strong development – while contributing directly to the energy transition in the Nordics.
The position
We are now looking to hire an Asset Manager for a newly created position. The role will have a central place at the interface between operations, technology, commercial considerations and external partners, with responsibility for performance, uptime and operational follow-up of a portfolio of utility-scale battery storage assets.
You will work closely with both internal resources and external suppliers, and have significant influence on how the company manages, optimises and further develops the portfolio. The role is well suited to someone who combines technical and operational understanding with structure, commercial awareness and the ability to collaborate with a range of stakeholders.
You will report to the Operations Director and play a central role in ensuring that the assets deliver in accordance with technical, regulatory, environmental and contractual requirements. At the same time, you will contribute to improvements, optimisation and learning across the portfolio through analysis of operational and market data, KPI follow-up and active use of relevant monitoring systems.
The role involves close follow-up of suppliers and contracts, coordination of maintenance and downtime in collaboration with internal commercial teams and Route-to-Market partners, as well as work to reduce downtime and negative revenue impact. You will also contribute to prequalification and participation in new markets and ancillary services, and ensure sound risk management, incident handling and an up-to-date risk register for the portfolio.
The position includes site visits, where you will assess technical condition, delivery quality and identify improvement areas in collaboration with suppliers and external advisors.
Why choose Nordic BESS?
At Nordic BESS, you will have the opportunity to join from an early stage in a company with clear ambitions, strong owners and attractive market opportunities. The role is suited to someone who wants to do more than manage operations – here, you will help influence how a new company builds structure, practices and operational quality from the ground up. You can expect:
- A central role in a new energy initiative with strong relevance to the energy transition in the Nordics
- Significant influence in a company with strong owners and a strong market position
- The opportunity to help build the portfolio, ways of working and operational environment
- Broad exposure to technical, operational and commercial topics
