Job Description

Working with both a multi-disciplinary project team based in Ireland and also within a wider team of grid connections experts and engineers, this role will facilitate shaping and delivering successful grid connection outcomes for a portfolio of renewable energy assets, from a mature development stage through to construction and delivery. As an integral part of the project delivery team, the role-holder will be best located with access to our main Irish office in Cork, where both hybrid and fully office-based working is supported.

This may include, for example, contracts for independent connection provision, key electrical transmission and distribution equipment, technical compliance studies and performance demonstration tests.
• Support the UK & Ireland Grid Connections Manager in accurately capturing project grid liabilities and key risks.
• Provide technical assistance during project development and construction. Ensure the factors influencing and influenced by the grid connection are considered, and that project designs meet all the technical grid code compliance requirements, liaising with the relevant specialists.
• Review any network restrictions or curtailment analysis and facilitate assessments of export constraint and curtailment over the forecast life span of assigned projects.
• Project responsibilities will be matched to experience, with opportunities to learn and develop alongside our team of highly experienced grid specialists.
