• Prepare requirements, technical specifications and tender documents, and evaluate tender returns.
• Support grid connection applications, connection offer reviews and EirGrid/ESB Networks interface and contestability processes.
• Carry out technical due diligence and feasibility studies for developers, lenders and investors.
• Monitor construction quality on site, witness factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT), and track snagging and handover.
• Write clear technical reports, design review registers and client briefings.
• Help manage technical risk, change control and the programme alongside project managers and cost consultants.
• Contribute to proposals, fee bids and framework submissions.
• Promote safety in design and on site, including the client's duties under the Construction Regulations (PSDP/PSCS).
• Mentor graduate engineers and share knowledge across the team.

Requirements

• Level 8 honours degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3–5 years' experience on HV substation projects at 38kV and above, in design, delivery, commissioning or a client-side role.
• Good understanding of AIS/GIS substations, power transformers, switchgear, protection and control, and HV cables.
• Working knowledge of the relevant IEC/EN standards and the Irish grid connection process.
• Confidence reviewing other engineers' work and putting technical positions to clients and contractors.
• Strong report writing and presentation skills.
• Chartered Engineer status (Engineers Ireland or IET), or actively working towards it.
• Full, clean driving licence and willingness to travel to sites.
• Engineer, Client Engineer or consultancy experience, ideally on EirGrid or ESB Networks projects.
