Opportunity
At Stantec Ireland, you’ll join a growing Energy team at the forefront of a transforming transmission and distribution sector. With rising demand and ambitious decarbonisation targets across Ireland, this is an opportunity to contribute to critical infrastructure shaping the energy transition.
As a Senior Electrical Engineer specialising in HV cable design, you’ll work on a diverse range of projects including HVDC interconnectors, offshore and onshore wind, substations, and grid connections—supporting initiatives aligned with EirGrid’s network development.
You’ll collaborate within a multidisciplinary team across all project stages, from FEED to delivery, contributing technical expertise while developing your career in an innovative environment.
About the Role
In this key role, you will support the design and delivery of high‑voltage cable systems across a range of major infrastructure and renewable energy projects throughout Ireland. You will contribute to projects spanning HVDC interconnectors, offshore and onshore wind farms, substations, and grid connection schemes.
Responsibilities
Support and lead design activities across all project phases—from feasibility and FEED through to detailed design and delivery—ensuring high‑quality, efficient, and innovative engineering solutions.
Work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, including key clients such as EirGrid, to address complex technical challenges and deliver infrastructure that underpins Ireland’s transition to a more sustainable energy future.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to an active, collaborative culture.
About You
