Position Description
A vacancy exists for the position of Hydro Team Member, Technical Services Engineer, Lee Generating Stations.
Built between 1952 and 1957, Lee Generating Stations joined the schemes on the rivers Shannon, Erne, and Liffey to become ESB’s fourth major hydroelectric development. This involved creating two reservoirs in the Lee Valley, which:
* cover an area of 14km² and
* have a storage capacity of 45 million cubic metres.
We have been generating electricity on the River Lee since 1957. Our station has a combined generating capacity of 27 MW. The station's engineering, maintenance, and operations teams play a pivotal role in ensuring the safe operation of the station and that commercial & technical performance is optimized. The two units at Inniscarra use Voith turbines with Brown Boveri generators, operating under an average head of 30m. Carrigadrohid has one generating unit (Voith turbine/Siemens generator) with a capacity of 8 MW, operating under an average head of 13m. Lee stations are high-efficiency producers of renewable energy and are part of ESB’s goal to reach Net Zero by 2040.
As a member of the station team, the Hydro Team Member, Technical Services Engineer will work across all functional areas including maintenance, operations, technical services, facilities, civil and dam safety, supervision, and contractor management. The successful candidate will work within their competence level to perform duties, support other teams and projects, and communicate effectively.
