Job Details


Tá ról faoi leith ag Grúpa EirGrid sa chlaochlú radacach ar ár gcóras cumhachta mar chuid den aistriú chuig an bhfuinneamh inathnuaite. Teastóidh iarrachtaí ceannródaíochta innealtóireachta chun é seo a bhaint amach, agus acmhainn mhéadaithe TF chun freagairt go héifeachtach do scála an bhunathraithe seo. Fágann sé seo go bhfuil deis iontach ann do ghairm TF a fhorbairt agus ról tábhachtach a imirt i gclaochlú TF Ghrúpa EirGrid.

Is gnó muid a chuireann an bhéim ar chúrsaí TF, agus cuireann muid córais speisialaithe den chéad scoth, atá riachtanach dár ngnó, ar fáil 24/7.

Agus muid ag bogadh i dtreo an fhuinnimh ísealcharbóin amach anseo, tá deis anseo do'anailísí gnó an-tionchar a imirt mar chuid dár bhfoireann Phortfóilió agus Rannpháirtíochta TF.

Cuspóir an Róil

Tá foireann na Margaí Amach Anseo freagrach as ceannaireacht smaointeoireachta a sholáthar maidir le hathruithe margaidh a theastaíonn chun na spriocanna leictreachais inathnuaite a bhaint amach. Tá sí freagrach chomh maith as cláir mhóra oibre a sheacadadh chun athruithe atá faofa ag na húdaráis rialála a chur i bhfeidhm.

Tá roinnt phríomhthionscadal idir lámha ag an bhfoireann faoi láthair, lena n-áirítear;

* Socruithe Seirbhíse Córais Amach Anseo: Mar chuid den tionscadal seo tá socruithe nua á bhforbairt chun Seirbhísí Córais nuálaíochta a sholáthar a bheidh fíorthábhachtach agus athrú oibríochtúil á chur i bhfeidhm chun ligean d'fheidhmiú an chóais chumhachta le leibhéil níos airde teicneolaíochta ísealcharbóin agus chun ár spriocanna inathnuaite a bhaint amach do 2030.
* Sceidealú agus Seoladh: Faoin tionscadal seo, tá athruithe dearaidh á bhforbairt dár gcórais chroímhargaí agus oibríochtúla chun athruithe a chur i bhfeidhm a bhaineann le hathnuaiteáin neamhthosaíochta seolta mar a shainmhínítear iad sa Phacáiste Fuinnimh Ghlain, ag feabhsú seoltaí gaoithe, agus uasdátuithe ar an bpróiseas sceidealaithe agus seolta chun réitigh nua stórála fuinnimh a thabhairt isteach, chomh maith le foinsí ísealcharbóin támhaí agus soláthar cúltacaí agus seirbhísí córas ó nuatheicneolaíochtaí.
* Comhtháthú Eorpach: Ó tharla an Breatimeacht, níl an margadh uile-oileáin leictreachais comhtháite leis an AE. Nuair a thosófar ag feidhmiú an Idirnascaire Cheiltigh, beimid nasctha le Limistéar Sioncrónach Mhór-Roinn na hEorpa agus beidh gá le hathruithe móra margaidh dá bharr.
* SEM-GB: Tá an margadh SEM idirnasctha le margadh na Breataine Móire. Tá obair leanúnach idir lámha chun socruithe iar-Bhreatimeachta a fhorbairt lena n-áirítear monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar athruithe ar struchtúr mhargaí na Breataine Móire agus gníomhú ina leith.
* Aistriú an mhargaidh iomaíoch go margadh Neodrach: Tacú le forbairt polasaí leictreachais chun astaíochtaí carbóin neodracha a bhaint amach faoin mbliain 2050, i gcomhar leis an gCoimisiún um Rialáil Fóntais (CRU) agus leis an Roinn Aeráide, Fuinnimh agus Comhshaoil (DCEE).

Chomh maith leis na tionscadail seo, cuireann an fhoireann ceannaireacht smaointeoireachta agus comhairle ar fáil don chuid eile den ghnó maidir le hathruithe tábhachtacha margaidh a theastaíonn chun tacú le spriocanna an rialtais 80% de RES-E a bhaint amach faoi 2030 agus díriú ar athruithe margaidh le bheith neodrach ó thaobh carbóin de.

A bhuí leis an nádúr éagsúil a bhaineann leis an margadh uile-oileáin leictreachais, tá ár bhfoireann ag sárú dúshlán sula dtagann siad aníos in aon áit eile ar domhan.

Fostóir Comhdheiseanna is ea EirGrid

EirGrid Group has a unique role to play in leading this radical transformation of our power system in support of the transition to renewable energy. This will require pioneering engineering effort together with highly secure IT capability to respond successfully to the scale of disruption. This offers a unique opportunity to further your career in cybersecurity while playing a significant role in protecting critical national infrastructure.

We're an IT intensive business, and we operate a state-of-the-art, specialised business-critical systems, 24/7. Our future has never looked more exciting and this is an incredible opportunity to be part of it. The world is ready for change. If you are too, join us.

Job Purpose

The Future Markets team is responsible for providing thought leadership in relation to market changes needed to deliver on the renewable electricity targets and is also responsible for delivering large programmes of work to deliver on changes approved by the regulatory authorities.

The team is currently delivering a number of key projects including;

* Future System Service Arrangements: This project is developing new arrangements for the procurement of innovative System Services which will be vital in facilitating operational change which will allow the power system to be operated with increasingly high levels of low carbon technologies and in achieving our 2030 renewables targets;
* Scheduling and Dispatch: This project is developing design changes to our core market and operational systems to deliver on changes associated with the treatment of non-priority dispatch renewables defined in the Clean Energy Package, making improvements on wind dispatch, and updates to scheduling and dispatch process to incorporate new energy storage solutions, low carbon sources of inertia, and the provision of reserves and systems services from new technologies.
* European Integration: Since Brexit the all-island electricity market is no longer integrated with the EU. Once the Celtic Interconnector goes live, we will be connected to the Continental Europe Synchronous Area and this will require significant market changes.
* SEM-GB: The SEM market is interconnected with the GB market. Work is ongoing to develop post-Brexit arrangements which includes monitoring of and acting on changes to the structure of the GB markets.
* Competitive market transition to Net Zero: Support the development of electricity policy in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, in conjunction with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) and Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment (DCEE).

In addition to these projects the team delivers thought leadership and advice to the rest of the business around key market changes needed to support the government targets of getting 80% of RES-E by 2030 and also a focus on market changes to deliver on net carbon zero.

Due to the unique nature of the all-island electricity market our team is solving challenges before they are experienced elsewhere in the world. This is therefore a unique opportunity to work alongside world leading experts and play a key role in our transition to a secure and low carbon energy future.
