• Support procurement team with technical evaluation of suppliers
• Participate in design reviews and ensure compliance with grid codes and standards (IEC, EN, Irish Grid Code : ESB or Eirgrid)

Commissioning & Site Supervision (Execution Phase)

• Prepare commissioning plans, test procedures, and inspection checklists
• Supervise and perform on-site commissioning of electrical systems and equipment (LV/MV, protection systems, SCADA, etc.)
• Conduct functional and performance tests, including grid compliance verification
• Troubleshoot issues during commissioning and propose corrective actions
• Liaise with grid operators for energization and final approval
• Ensure documentation, reports, and commissioning dossiers are complete and aligned with project requirements

Profile :

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Minimum 3 years of experience in electrical design and/or commissioning in the energy, power, or renewable sectors
• Strong knowledge of electrical system design, power distribution, and protection principles
• Familiar with PV technologies, inverters, SCADA systems, and MV equipment
