The Opportunity - Senior Electrical Engineer

I'm working with an international General Contractor looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer (HV) to support the growth of its engineering department and deliver a major €400m industrial expansion project in Ireland.

The project involves the second phase of Diageo's Littleconnell brewery development in County Kildare, dedicated to brewing Guinness and Guinness 0%. This is a significant capital investment, offering the opportunity to contribute to a large-scale project with complex electrical infrastructure requirements and access to a long-term pipeline of mission-critical projects.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer (HV) , you'll take technical ownership of high-voltage electrical systems throughout the project lifecycle, from early-stage feasibility and detailed design through construction, testing, commissioning, energisation and final handover.

This position would suit an experienced HV engineer with a strong technical background in substations, grid connections and power infrastructure, who is comfortable coordinating multidisciplinary teams and managing technical interfaces across complex engineering projects.

What's on Offer?

• Salary: Up to €80,000 per annum, depending on experience
• Bonus: Discretionary company bonus scheme
• Location: Head office in Dublin, with the project site in County Kildare
• Project pipeline: Opportunity to contribute to further mission-critical projects

• Leading HV engineering activities across substations and transmission and distribution networks.
• Managing HV design and coordinating with multidisciplinary EPC teams.
• Reviewing designs for compliance with statutory requirements, standards and project specifications.
• Coordinating in-house engineers and third-party designers.
• Developing procurement specifications, supporting OEM selection and reviewing vendor packages.
• Reviewing and approving technical submittals and vendor documentation.
• Supporting procurement, FATs, SATs, commissioning and energisation.
• Carrying out technical inspections and supporting QA/QC, ITPs and handover documentation.
• Overseeing the transition from design through construction, commissioning and handover.
• Supporting operator training and familiarisation.
• Driving continuous improvement of engineering policies, procedures and processes.

Key Success Factors - Senior Electrical Engineer

• A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• A minimum of five years' experience delivering high-voltage electrical infrastructure projects.
• Strong technical knowledge of HV substations and grid connections, including switchgear, transformers, control and protection systems, earthing and lightning protection.
