Grid Analyst

At Krios Infrastructure , we are building the backbone of Europe’s digital future. We accelerate data centre development by creating power-ready sites that work in harmony with utilities, landowners, and local communities. As a power-first developer, we go where the grid works best by unlocking capacity, strengthening resilience, and creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

Krios is a fast-growing, founder-led platform backed by experienced investors and industry leaders. We combine deep technical expertise with entrepreneurial drive, and we believe the best outcomes come from collaboration, curiosity, and ambition.

The Role:

Grid access is the defining constraint of the European data centre build-out. Everyone in the market knows this but very few organisations actually understand the grid well enough to act on it. That gap is what this role exists to close.

The core challenge is that information on capacity availability on the grid for large loads is scarce in Europe. This means it has to be built up from fragmented, indirect sources: network development plans, generation and demand data, connection queues, substation records, and regulatory publications. Turning that into a clear, usable picture of where large loads can connect across multiple European markets is what this role is about.

You will not be doing this alone. The Krios team brings deep market knowledge, origination experience, and direct relationships with grid operators and regulators across our target countries. Your role is to bring the analytical structure and technical toolkit that turns that collective knowledge into something systematic and repeatable.

At Krios, you’ll find a high-trust, low-ego environment where expertise is valued, and responsibility comes early. We believe diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes and are committed to building balanced, inclusive teams.

This role offers genuine ownership from day one. You will work directly with senior leadership across origination, investment, and development, and what you produce will have a direct bearing on where we deploy capital.

What you will do:

Own the Grid Data

Build and maintain a live picture of grid conditions across our target markets by drawing on TSO and DSO portals, ENTSO-E reports, regulatory publications, and planning registers. You will work closely with our GIS Expert to feed grid intelligence into the shared geospatial platform and collaborate with the wider team on structuring and automating data flows. The goal is analysis that non-engineers can use directly to make siting and investment decisions.

Understand the grid (current and future)

The key questions are where grid capacity is available, what is coming, and whether now is the right moment. That means substation-level analysis alongside a clear read of TSO and DSO investment plans and what they mean for connection opportunities and reliability over the next few years. Generation and demand dynamics matter too: where load growth is supported, where curtailment is chronic, and where large new connections are operationally welcome.

Model and assess

Using open-source tools (PyPSA, pandapower), you will run country-level load flow analysis for priority countries to map available capacity across transmission network zones. The goal is to identify where the network can host large load connections before we commit to a site, giving the origination team a clear, evidence-based picture of where to focus.

Own the Power Availability Curve

Based on the network data, grid development plans, modeling activities, and stakeholder engagement, you will develop and own the power availability curve. The goal is to develop a database of when and where how much capacity will become available, based on all the previously mentioned input.

Role requirements:

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, power systems or energy engineering

• 1-3 years of experience in power systems analysis, grid planning, or energy market intelligence at a TSO, DSO, developer, consultancy, or research institution

• Solid working knowledge of European grid infrastructure and connection processes across at least two European countries

• Hands-on experience with PyPSA, pandapower, or a comparable open-source power systems tool; proficient in Python for analysis and pipeline work

• Clear communicator: comfortable writing for and presenting to non-technical audiences

• Fluent English; the team and our counterparties span multiple countries

Desirable

• Experience with commercial power systems tools such as PowerFactory or PSS/E

• Familiarity with ENTSO-E and TSO grid datasets

• Direct experience with grid impact studies in Europe

• Background in or exposure to data centre infrastructure, hyperscale power requirements, or infrastructure investment

• An additional European language

• Familiarity with connection access frameworks, queue mechanisms, and evolving grid connection policy across European markets
