Head of Grid (m/f/d)

Skip to main contentBack to all jobsHead of Grid (m/f/d)All Offices or RemoteFull-timePermanent employeeApply for this jobWho we are - Our Missionterralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage.The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match.By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms.What we are hiring for - Your RoleAs our Grid Strategy & Access Lead, you are the central owner of terralayr’s grid access strategy and the key technical counterparty to DSOs/TSOs. Your mission is to improve conversion, speed, and quality of grid outcomes across the project lifecycle - from identifying promising “white spots” to securing and optimizing connection capacity. By combining strong technical / electrical engineering expertise with proactive stakeholder management, you will help terralayr place BESS assets where they are both technically feasible and commercially most attractive.What you will work on - Your ResponsibilitiesDSO / TSO Counterparty Ownership: Act as terralayr’s main technical counterpart to DSOs/TSOs and lead ongoing discussions around connection feasibility, constraints, FCA topics, timelines, and practical solutions.Grid Strategy & Project Prioritization: Identify and prioritize the most attractive connection opportunities across DSOs/TSOs and support strategic project / DSO selection based on technical bottlenecks, conversion likelihood, and commercial attractiveness.Grid Expertise & Technical Insight: Serve as terralayr’s internal grid expert by assessing grid capacity, connection constraints, technical bottlenecks, and likely DSO/TSO behavior. Provide actionable grid insight to support project selection, FCA assessment, negotiations, prioritization, and broader strategic / regulatory decisions.Grid Access Conversion: Support the conversion of grid opportunities into secured capacity through structured follow-ups, technical challenge, and fact-based negotiations.Regulatory & Lobbying Support: Support terralayr’s regulatory assessments and external positioning by bringing a strong technical view on grid bottlenecks, DSO/TSO processes, and potential improvement levers.Commercial Translation: Translate technical grid constraints into project, timeline, and revenue implications, enabling better development and investment decisions.Cross-functional Ownership: Work closely with Development, Finance, Delivery, Commercial, and leadership to ensure grid strategy directly improves pipeline quality, conversion, and execution.What we are looking for - Your QualificationsExperience: 5-10 years of relevant experience within a utility, TSO/DSO, grid consultancy, or leading renewable energy developer. Strong experience in grid connection, grid constraints, and power systems, ideally with relevance for BESS / flexibility projects.Education / Technical Profile: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or similar. Strong technical / electrical engineering depth is essential.Tooling & Analysis: Grid modelling / simulation capabilities are welcome, but not a must. More important is strong practical understanding of grid access, connection processes, and technical bottlenecks.Execution & Influence: You are not just a technical analyst - you can use technical insight to influence outcomes, challenge assumptions, and move projects...
