Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Cpl Full time

Our client Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) is Ireland's independent energy and water regulator. The work of the CRU impacts every Irish home and business ensuring safe, secure and sustainable energy and water supplies for the benefit of all customers.

Background

In August 2019, the CRU published a decision paper[1] on the recognition processes for professional qualifications. The decision paper set out that the CRU would establish a panel of subject matter experts to review applications from applicants seeking to register with relevant non-Irish professional qualifications. In that paper, the CRU set out its policy decision to apply a similar process for applicants with relevant non-EU qualifications. In 2023, the CRU published an Information Note[2] setting out some changes to the current process, in certain circumstances. These changes were introduced to improve compliance with the Directive.

The outcome of the review process by the Expert Panel will determine whether or not an applicant is eligible to apply to join the Safe Electric Scheme, or whether following compensation measures an applicant is eligible to apply to join the Safe Electric scheme.

The Panel of Experts / Role Description

The Panel of Experts consists of five suitably qualified and experienced individuals. The function of the Panel is to review and assess the applicants':

· Professional Qualification(s)

· Additional post-qualifying education and training

· Professional work experience.

The Panel must examine each application within the prescribed timeline and in accordance with other requirements as set out by the CRU. These requirements may vary from time to time.

Applicants will be required to fill out an application form with the relevant details relating to their qualification(s) and professional experience. The role of the Panel of Experts ("the Panel") is to review the applications and assess if applicants have demonstrated an appropriate level of competence to become eligible to register with the Safe Electric scheme.

The Panel will map the respective applicant's qualification(s) against the list of essential subjects/learning outcomes of the relevant accepted Irish qualification(s). If there are any substantial differences (deficits) between the applicant's qualification(s) and the essential subjects/learning outcomes, the Panel will assess if the applicant's professional work experience addresses these deficits.

The Panel will then decide if compensation measures need to be applied on a case-by-case basis, namely by either attending an aptitude test in the form of an interview carried out by the Expert Panel Members or completing an adaptation period under the supervision of a QC.

Location

It is expected that meetings will take place every 2 1 to 2 months primarily online via MS Teams or occasionally at the Commission for Regulation of Utilities' (CRU's) offices in Tallaght, Dublin 24.

The decision as to whether meetings take place virtually or in person, will be at the CRU's discretion.

Remuneration

· €100 per application processed. It is estimated that there will be approximately 5 to 10 applications per Panel member, per meeting.

· €300 per half day meeting and €600 per full day meeting plus reasonable expenses at Civil Service Rates. It is estimated that the Panel will meet a minimum of one-half day online meeting every two months.

Time Requirements

One-half day every 1 to 2 months to agree decisions where meetings take place virtually. Occasionally full day in person meetings at the CRU's offices where this is required.

The frequency of meetings may increase or decrease, depending upon the number of applications received.

Ahead of the meetings Panel members will be expected to have undertaken their own review and formed a view of each application to be decided.

Panel members may also be required to undertake a review of an application should an applicant request an appeal of the Expert Panel's decision. In this case, a Panel Member not previously involved in the decision will be requested to review and affirm or vary the decision of the Expert Panel.

Training will be provided by the CRU upon appointment to the Panel which Panel members will be required to attend. Additional training may be provided throughout the term, where relevant changes in practices, regulations or industry developments occur.

Essential Criteria:

  1. Relevant work experience related to Ireland's electrical industry
  2. Knowledge/experience of Irish vocational electrical training qualifications – particularly apprenticeships.
