The Elia Group encompasses two major transmission system operators (TSOs) in two European regions: Elia 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 neighboring countries allow electricity trade in wider European energy markets.
In maintaining and building the transmission infrastructure of tomorrow, Elia Group acts at the forefront of the energy transition. To translate opportunities and challenges into strategic initiatives, digitalization, and transformation programs, Elia Transmission Belgium is reinforcing its IT organization. As digitalization accelerates and business relies increasingly on IT solutions, it is now more important than ever to structure and professionalize the full lifecycle of IT systems and processes. Enforcing governance, standard ways of working, and robust lifecycle management is critical to ensure IT delivers value consistently, transparently, and securely across the organization.
The Head of IT Management Office will be responsible for leading the department that governs IT processes and operations across both applications and IT infrastructure. The role ensures that processes and lifecycles are standardized and compliant, that vendor performance and procurement operations are effectively managed, and that risks and dependencies are anticipated and addressed. By bringing financial transparency, workforce planning, and transversal project coordination together under one umbrella, the function guarantees that IT contributes maximum value to Elia Transmission Belgium, supporting both day-to-day operations and the long-term digital transformation journey.
