Role Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and autonomous Senior Electrical Engineer to drive the design and delivery of small to mid-scale power infrastructure projects. You will be the technical authority on our Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) generator rollouts. Moving beyond pure drafting, this role focuses on end-to-end project lifecycle management, technical leadership, and maintaining the high engineering standards that keep our medium-voltage sites safe and efficient.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Project Leadership: Drive BESS and transformer upgrades from initial site feasibility and supplier assessment through to grid connection, commissioning, and final handover in partnership with the Project Manager.
• Advanced Design & Standardization: Produce robust AC/DC designs, cable schedules, and tender documents. You will leverage, manage, and continuously improve our established suite of foundational CAD templates, setting the baseline for the wider deployment team.
• Safety & Technical Authority: Act as the definitive technical voice from the feasibility stage with the customer to on-site during commissioning. You will provide clear, unambiguous technical support to the sales teams and to contractors in high-risk environments, ensuring zero confusion and strict adherence to electrical standards.
• Commercial Delivery: Develop complete project tender packages, including Bills of Materials (BOMs), while actively managing project specifications, budgets, and timelines.

Qualifications

• 5 to 7+ years of experience as an Electrical Engineer within the power generation, renewables or utilities industry. An Electrical Craft Certificate is advantageous but not essential.
• Deep, practical knowledge of BESS integrations, medium-voltage installations, and earthing.
• Highly capable of reading, understanding, and producing complex electrical schematics and wiring diagrams using AutoCAD.
• An exceptional, assertive communicator who can translate complex technical plans into clear field instructions for diverse teams.
• A self-starter capable of managing projects independently across diverse locations in Ireland and the UK. A valid full driving license is required.

Requirements

• Appropriate tertiary qualifications in electrical engineering.
• Full and valid driving licence.
• Proficient user of MS Office.
• Proficient user of AutoCAD.
• Proficient user of power simulation software (PSCAD etc.).
