About Our Client
We are partnered with a specialist renewables developer operating at the forefront of Ireland's rapidly expanding sustainable infrastructure market. With a strong presence in Central Dublin and an active pipeline across Ireland and the UK, the organisation delivers technically advanced energy projects that directly support the transition to low-carbon solutions.
Their portfolio spans high-growth sectors including solar, wind, battery energy storage systems and associated grid connection infrastructure. Known for technical capability, commercial discipline and forward-thinking innovation, the business is scaling its commercial function to support an increasingly complex and strategically important project pipeline.
As a progressive and agile organisation, they offer commercial professionals genuine responsibility, early exposure to project leadership and clear progression opportunities within one of the most in-demand sectors in the market.
