Functional Analyst Utilities (MIG6)

Vlaams Energiebedrijf (veb) is the energy company of the Flemish government. veb purchases green electricity and natural gas and supplies them to public organisations, such as Flemish government agencies and local authorities. veb also supports public customers with energy services and energy efficiency projects.

For a 6-month assignment, veb is looking for a Functional Analyst Utilities to bridge the gap between the energy market, veb's business teams and IT. You translate market processes into clear functional requirements and make sure the data on access points, metering values, allocation and reconciliation is correct from market message to accounting.

You have at least 2 years of experience as a functional or business analyst in the energy or utilities sector, you know the MIG6 processes and the Belgian energy market, and you speak and write Dutch fluently.

• You analyse the MIG6 market processes (including supplier switch, move-in/move-out, meter reading, delivery of metering data, allocation and reconciliation) and their impact on veb's energy balance.
• You map the data flows between the MIG6 messages, Cogenius and Business Central, and between these systems and the energy balance reporting.
• You detect and investigate discrepancies between purchased, allocated, metered and invoiced volumes and propose structural solutions.
• You translate business requirements into IT requirements and work them out in functional analyses, user stories, data mapping and acceptance criteria, in collaboration with Cogenius and the Business Central partner.
• You are the functional point of contact for questions about market messages to distribution system operators and Atrias.
• You draw up test scenarios, guide acceptance testing and support the go-live.
• You document processes and analyses so that the internal team can take over the knowledge after the assignment.

veb is optimising its energy balance: a correct and timely view of what veb purchases, what it supplies, and what is metered and allocated at each access point. To achieve this, the MIG6 market messages via Atrias need to connect to the Cogenius supply platform and to veb's ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
