Mission title: Senior UI Designer
Mission context:
The Client Group encompasses two major transmission system operators (TSOs) in two European regions: Client Transmission in Belgium and 50Hertz Transmission, one of the four German TSOs in northeast Germany. Both TSOs operate at the heart of the European electricity system as they provide vital links between the various electricity producers and their 30 million end users. The Group’s high voltage network, with its intricately meshed 18,600 km grid, transports the electricity generated by the producers to the distribution system operators and major industrial consumers. In addition, interconnectors with several neighbouring countries allow electricity trade in wider European energy markets.
The Group IT has recently introduced new profiles, namely UX researchers and UI designers, in the implementation of its products to shift from system centric towards user centric paradigm, manage uncertainties of new lines of business, deliver products reaching their target at a lower cost and objectify successes of a product.
