Electrical Tendering Engineer

(DOE) Hybrid your choice of Irish office Power Renewables & Substations

Ireland is spending billions reinforcing its grid and connecting renewables. Every one of those projects starts life as a tender someone has to win and the electrical engineering behind those tenders could be yours to own.

Heres why its worth a look if youre settled somewhere already:

Youd own the electrical engineering scope on major Power Renewable and Substation tenders built to ESB and EirGrid specs. Not a slice of it. The whole electrical piece of the submission end to end.

You pick which of the Irish offices youre based out of and its hybrid this is predominantly office-based with the odd site visit not five days commuting.

Theres a formal Career Pathway Programme behind it with genuine support towards chartered status so this isnt a dead-end desk.

And if youve recently moved to Ireland or are about to theyll sponsor Stamp 1G and 1G spousal.

What youd actually be doing

Taking employers requirements specs and preliminary drawings and turning the electrical engineering into an accurate technically compliant commercially sharp tender submission. Finding the risk and pricing it. Coordinating the electrical civil cable and OHL interfaces. Dealing with equipment vendors and design consultants and pressure-testing their quotes. Spotting value-engineering opportunities feeding the tender programme and engineering budget sitting in tender and post-tender meetings then handing a won tender cleanly to the delivery team.

What youll need

Three things and theyre not negotiable:

• You use EPLAN and know it well.
• Youve done electrical tendering or electrical design engineering in industry.
• You can work in Ireland now or youre eligible for Stamp 1G / 1G spousal which the client will sponsor. (Stamp 2 or anyone whod need a work permit from abroad cant be considered for this one.)

Itll help but isnt essential if youve also got

Substation and secondary design experience ETAP (or similar power-system analysis software) familiarity with ESB / EirGrid specifications or HV and renewables project exposure.

How to move it along

Send me your CV Im Will McCaffrey at EMBS. It doesnt need to be polished or fully up to date.

• Email:
• Call or text:
• Or connect with me on LinkedIn

If you meet those three must-haves Ill come back to you within a few working days.

Who youd be working for
