Dublin, Ireland Green Recruitment Company Full time

A well-established renewable energy developer in Ireland, with more than 650 projects successfully delivered and 140 MW of operational capacity already in place, alongside a pipeline of 280 MW under development. The organisation has set a target of reaching 1 GW of renewable generation by 2030, playing a key role in advancing Ireland’s clean energy transition. Its expertise spans solar PV, wind, biomass, and energy efficiency, providing end-to-end services from design and construction to operation and maintenance, supported by flexible financing models such as power purchase agreements.

Role Overview

As Lead Solar QA/QC Engineer, you will oversee quality assurance and quality control activities for solar PV projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards, technical requirements, and regulatory frameworks. Beyond establishing and enforcing QA/QC protocols, you will play a central role in shaping the quality function—leading site inspections, supporting commissioning, and gradually building and managing a dedicated QA/QC team to strengthen long-term project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and implement project-specific QA/QC plans aligned with contractual obligations and ISO standards

- Lead on-site inspections of civil, mechanical, and electrical works including module mounting, trenching, cabling, inverter/transformer installation, and grid connection activities

- Ensure adherence to design drawings, technical specifications, method statements, and inspection & test plans (ITPs)

- Oversee inspections and testing on equipment and installations (e.g. PV modules, inverters, transformers, insulation resistance, string testing, torque settings)

- Maintain comprehensive QA/QC documentation: test reports, NCRs, punch lists, as-built drawings, and quality logs

- Identify, manage, and resolve non-conformities, coordinating with contractors and project teams to implement corrective measures

- Act as the primary quality interface with contractors, site managers, and client representatives

- Lead QA/QC involvement in commissioning and handover, ensuring complete documentation packages are delivered

- Establish the foundations of a QA/QC team, with responsibility for recruiting, mentoring, and developing team members over time

- Drive continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned and proposing enhancements to QA/QC systems and processes

Qualifications & Experience

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related field

- Minimum 3–5 years’ QA/QC experience in solar PV or renewable energy projects; EPC background advantageous

- Demonstrated leadership capability or ambition to step into a lead role with team-building responsibility

- Strong knowledge of Irish and EU construction standards, regulations, and best practices for solar projects

- Familiar with IEC, EN, and ISO standards (especially ISO 9001)

- Proficient in MS Office and quality management systems (QMS); experience with SharePoint or similar is beneficial
