We are the people behind Ireland’s electricity grid. We operate the power system with world‑leading levels of variable asynchronous renewable generation, ensuring that everyone has power when they need it. But that’s not all, we are now transforming the power system for future generations.
And that’s just the beginning of our story. We have a critical purpose. That purpose is to transform the power system to enable our society to reduce our carbon emissions and meet our climate change and net‑zero ambitions.
Be part of the transformation!
The Opportunity
We are now seeking a Senior Lead GIS Technician for our Engineering & Asset Management (E&AM).

The role will require working closely with the maintenance team to incorporate all available asset data and to ensure the accuracy of the data of existing assets and all new assets added to the grid.
The Team
The Engineering & Asset Management is responsible for undertaking four key roles: asset management, technical authority, onshore engineering and offshore engineering.
