A major utilities and renewable energy group operating across Ireland is looking to strengthen its electrical and grid team with the addition of an Electrical Engineer.

With more than 30 years in the market, the business has become one of the most established players in the Irish energy sector, investing billions into renewable infrastructure and building one of the largest operating portfolios in the country. Today, the organisation employs over 700 people and continues to grow following recent investment and a renewed focus on expanding key technical functions.

What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the diversity of the business. The group operates as both a utilities provider and an Independent Power Producer, with projects spanning solar, onshore wind, and BESS technologies across Ireland.

This role will suit someone who enjoys both technical engineering work and project delivery responsibilities, with involvement across the full lifecycle of grid connection projects from early-stage development through to energisation.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting the delivery of new grid connections across solar, BESS, and onshore wind projects
  • Carrying out technical evaluations for early-stage development opportunities
  • Supporting projects through the full lifecycle, from tenders and feasibility through to delivery and contract negotiations
  • Conducting regular site visits to ensure electrical works are delivered to a high standard
  • Managing relationships with key stakeholders, including DNOs and Transmission Operators, regarding connection agreements and project delivery
