Working as part of an experienced engineering team, you will be responsible for the design and development of electrical systems for substations, renewable energy developments, ESB framework projects and industrial facilities across Ireland.

This is a varied role offering exposure to major HV and MV infrastructure projects, where you'll work closely with Project Managers, Site Teams and Commissioning Engineers from design through to project completion.

Must Have Requirements

• Proven experience using EPLAN Electric P8.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

• Experience producing electrical designs for substations, utilities, renewables or industrial projects.

• Strong understanding of electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and control systems.

• Excellent communication and technical problem-solving skills.

• Coordinate with Project Managers, Site Teams and Commissioning Engineers throughout project delivery.

• Ensure designs comply with client specifications and industry standards.

• Review and update technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle.

• Provide technical support during manufacturing, installation and commissioning.

• Identify opportunities for design improvements and value engineering.

About You

You are an Electrical Design Engineer with strong EPLAN experience who enjoys delivering technically challenging infrastructure projects. You have a solid understanding of electrical design principles and enjoy working across a varied portfolio rather than being tied to one sector.

Whether your background is in substations, renewables, utilities or industrial electrical projects, you'll be joining a team where technical expertise, collaboration and professional development are genuinely valued.

What's On Offer

Salary: €75,000 to €85,000 DOE

Benefits:
