In the role of Secondary Systems Asset Manager, you will develop your expertise in processes and the management of new and existing assets.

The Asset Manager function mainly comprises the following duties:
Managing our fleet of assets throughout their life cycle, involving collecting vital information on equipment and systems, technical phenomena, aspects of or possible anomalies in secondary systems by both analysing feedback and liaising with external contacts, with a view to acquiring and preserving the necessary expertise. Establishing a long-term vision for the evolution and development of fleets and the resulting implications is also an important element.
Writing the maintenance and replacement policies and analysing feedback to improve them.
Managing budgets and resources allocated to fleets, both in terms of forecast and monitoring, on various time scales.
Drawing up risk-reduction plans and the spare-parts policy to monitor the risks of equipment obsolescence.
Defining and implementing the use of health indicators for assets with a view to establishing the individual condition of a fleet of assets.
Defining concepts and then translating them into technical requirements for specifications as part of your involvement in multidisciplinary teams during purchasing procedures for the framework agreements.
Helping to define infrastructure projects by communicating the needs of secondary systems and seeking optimum technical and economic performance in cooperation with other technical departments.
Conducting on-site visits to assess how technical concepts and policies are being applied, reporting your conclusions and suggesting an action plan.
Participating as a technical expert in internal, national and international working groups.
Drafting the annual maintenance plan for the maintenance areas and arbitration, if necessary, by integrating the risks and resources aspects.
Developing and giving technical training courses for operational entities.
Gaining the technical expertise in this area that is vital to performing the above tasks.

Your role will mainly focus on managing the control and monitoring systems installed in Elia substations, in close collaboration with the departments concerned. More specifically, this covers the Remote Terminal Units (RTU) and Digital Control Systems (DCS), the transformer voltage regulators and the equipment used to exchange control and alarm functions with external parties. The advent of new technologies, such as digital substations, will also be an important element to be integrated into the future vision for the fleet. Besides, you will coordinate Elia activities in external technical committees aimed at discussing and defining the technical solutions applied in mixed TSO-DSO substations.
