We are the people behind Ireland’s electricity grid. We operate the power system with world-leading levels of variable asynchronous renewable generation, ensuring that everyone has power when they need it. But that’s not all, we are now transforming the power system for future generations.

And that’s just the beginning of our story. We have a critical purpose. That purpose is to transform the power system to enable our society to reduce our carbon emissions and meet our climate change and net zero ambitions.

Be part of the transformation

The Opportunity
The Programme Manager will support the Head of Connection Projects in leading a team of engineers to deliver on a range of complex, large-scale technical and commercial projects.

The role holder will lead a portfolio of projects, ensuring that appropriate project controls are in place within the team having regard to budgets, schedule, quality, risk, and activity monitoring.

The role holder will be involved in working collaboratively across the organisation and leading broader engagement with our stakeholders as we strive to transform the power system for future generations. They will demonstrate an ability to thrive in a fast-paced, highly collaborative work environment.

The Team
The Infrastructure office within EirGrid comprises highly skilled professionals with backgrounds in engineering and business/commerce. The Infrastructure Office is responsible for leading the development and delivery of the power system and interconnection investment programmes, in collaboration with partners, customers & communities.

The Connection Projects team is responsible for the delivery of electricity generation, demand, and interconnection customer connections to the transmission system. This includes the delivery of transmission works for power generation and demand customer connections at distribution voltage levels.
