Ceann Foirne - Maoiniú & Seachadadh Inniúlachta
Is muide a fheidhmíonn eangach leictreachais na hÉireann. Oibrímid an córas cumhachta le giniúint inathnuaite athraitheach aisioncronach atá chun tosaigh ar leibhéal domhanda, d’fhonn a chinntiú go mbíonn cumhacht ag gach duine nuair is gá. Anuas air sin, táimid i mbun chlaochlú an chórais cumhachta do na glúnta atá le teacht.
Agus níl ansin ach an tús. Tá cuspóir criticiúil againn. Is é sin claochlú an chórais chumhachta le cur ar chumas ár sochaí astaíochtaí carbóin a laghdú agus ár spriocanna athraithe aeráide agus neodrácha a bhaint amach.
Bí páirteach sa chlaochlú
An Deis Ghairme
Tá an Oifig um Oibríochtaí agus Sócmhainní ag croílár chóras leictreachais na hÉireann, áit a thagann gairmithe saineolacha ó chúlraí innealtóireachta agus tráchtála le chéile. Tá ról lárnach againn maidir le córas cumhachta agus margadh leictreachais mórdhíola atá slán, iontaofa agus inbhuanaithe a sholáthar le haghaidh oileán na hÉireann — agus thar aon rud eile, a chinntiú go bhfanann na soilse ar siúl i gcónaí.
Tá sprioc shoiléir againn: is é sin tacú le claochlú na hÉireann chun 80% leictreachas in-athnuaite a bhaint amach faoin mbliain 2030 agus neodracht a bhaint amach faoi mbliain 2050. Bíonn oibríochtaí córais agus margaidh fíor-ama á mbainistiú againn, socraímid cúrsaí airgeadais go pras, agus bímid ag plé le rannpháirtithe an mhargaidh go díreach. Le forbairt agus nuálaíocht leanúnach, tá córas fuinnimh láidir a sheasfaidh an aimsir á mhúnlú againn a bheidh in ann riachtanais athraitheacha gach úsáideora leictreachais a shásamh.
Táimid sa tóir ar Cheann Foirne faoi láthair le bheith mar chuid dár bhfoireann — deis den scoth a bheith mar chuid den fhoireann cheannaireachta laistigh den rannóg um Maoiniú & Seachadadh Inniúlachta.
Mar Cheann Foirne, beidh tú freagrach as timthriallta ceantála a chur i bhfeidhm le maoirseacht rialachais chuí, le tacaíocht ó pháirtithe leasmhara iomadúla inmheánacha agus seachtracha, ar an gcaighdeán is airde ó thaobh dearbhaithe cáilíochta de, de réir measúnachta iniúchóirí neamhspleácha. Beidh ceantanna Margaidh Toillte agus ceantanna Scéimeanna Tacaíochta Fuinnimh In-Athnuaite faoi do shainchúram. Beidh tú ag obair i gcomhar ar fud an Ghrúpa, i mbun plé le príomhpháirtithe leasmhara chun cabhrú linn ár spriocanna ceant a bhaint amach.
Beidh ról ríthábhachtach agat maidir le foireann a chothú ar a bhfuil os cionn 25 gairmí agus iad ag déanamh a mbealaigh ar a gconairí forais féin. Beidh ról ríthábhachtach agat maidir le treoir na foirne a mhúnlú agus a hoibríochtaí a stiúradh ó lá go lá.
Beidh tú freagrach as na hoibríochtaí a bhaineann le forbairt agus riaracháin ceantanna ó lá go lá, chomh maith le monatóireacht agus meastóireacht ar thoilleadh bronnta ó chur i gcrích an cheant go cur i bhfeidhm tráchtála. Cuireann an ról seo deis ar fáil dul i mbun plé le hÚdaráis Rialála, ranna rialtas, forais rialála agus rannpháirtithe an mhargaidh.
Is fútsa a bheidh sé feidhmíocht na foirne a bhainistiú. Cuid lárnach de sin is ea clár tógála cumais na heagraíochtaí a leabú, maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar athbhreithniú ar bhonn ráithiúil agus bliantiúil, agus timpeallacht a chothú atá báúil le cóitseáil agus meantóireacht ar fud grád éagsúil laistigh den fhoireann.
An Fhoireann
Bíonn an fhoireann um Maoiniú & Seachadadh Inniúlachta ag reáchtáil na gceantanna a dhaingníonn an toilleadh fadtréimhseach a theastaíonn chun na soilse a choinneáil ar siúl agus tacú le claochlú na hÉireann chun todhchaí ísealcharbóin, de réir an Phlean Gníomhaíochta ar son na hAeráide. Ceann de shainorduithe na foirne seo is ea ceantanna a riar le fíor-ionracas. Táimid tiomanta do thoilleadh a chinntiú lena chinntiú go bhfanfaidh na soilse ar siúl agus chun na gealltanais aeráide atá leagtha amach ag an Rialtas a chur i gcrích. Tá timpeallacht thaitneamhach, dhinimiciúil agus chomhoibríoch againn, áit a léirímid meas ar a chéile as an ionchur atá againn ar fad maidir lenár sprioc a bhaint amach.

This role offers the opportunity to engage with Regulatory Authorities, Government departments, regulatory bodies, and market participants.
We will look to you to manage the performance of the team. A key part of this will involve embedding the organisation’s capability-building programme, overseeing quarterly and annual reviews, and fostering a culture of coaching and mentoring across different grades within the team.

The Team
The Capacity Funding & Delivery team runs the auctions that secure the long-term capacity needed to keep the lights on and support Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon future, in line with the Climate Action Plan.
