Descripción de la vacante

Lirion Power is seeking a Land Manager to own the land rights behind every wind site, safeguarding leases and securing new rights for extension, repower and hybridisation. You’ll be the primary contact for landowners, coordinating with asset management, development, grid and legal teams to influence project timing and approvals.

This is a growth role where you’ll set standards, establish processes, and build the land function as the platform scales across Ireland.

Formación

• Experience in land, property, rural estates, utilities, infrastructure or renewable energy, ideally in Ireland.
• A track record of negotiating leases, options, acquisitions, easements or wayleaves, and seeing them through to completion.
• A sound understanding of Irish land law and property rights, including title, folios and the Land Registry (Tailte Éireann), and landlord and tenant legislation.
• Strong relationship skills and the judgement to handle sensitive conversations with landowners and communities.
• An organised, proactive approach. You can manage many agreements at once, spot risks early and solve problems independently or as part of a team.
• A full driving licence and willingness to travel to rural sites.

Responsabilidades

• Manage the land agreements across our operating wind farms, including leases, licences, easements and wayleaves. Keep an accurate register of terms, rent reviews, break dates and obligations.
• Act as the trusted day-to-day contact for landowners and their agents. Resolve issues quickly, from access and reinstatement to rent queries.
• Run due diligence on land titles and agreements for new acquisitions and integrate acquired sites into our land register smoothly.
• Negotiate lease extensions, variations and new options needed to run sites longer or repower them with modern turbines.
• Secure land rights for battery storage, solar PV, substations, cable routes and new access tracks next to existing sites.
• Identify land constraints and opportunities early, and give clear advice that informs which projects we take forward.
• Work with solicitors to agree heads of terms and see agreements through to completion, on time and within budget.
• Build good working relationships with local authorities, ESB Networks, EirGrid, neighbours and community groups.
• Support community engagement and community benefit fund arrangements alongside the wider team.
• Manage external land agents, valuers and surveyors, and control land-related costs.
• Build the processes, templates and systems our land function needs as the platform grows.
