As the world continues to experience the effects associated with climate change, the demand for skilled professionals in the energy sector is rapidly growing.

EirGrid, the operator and developer of Ireland’s electricity system, is leading Ireland's transition to a low-carbon future.

In response to the climate crisis, Ireland’s electricity system must be developed so that 80 per cent of our electricity comes from renewables, as set out by the Government - a stepping stone towards the ultimate ambition to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

This transition opens promising possibilities for those pursuing a new profession to build fulfilling careers and contribute to a brighter future.

EirGrid offers excellent career opportunities for workers from all backgrounds. From engineering, engagement and policymaking to IT, law, business, and finance, there is no better time to pursue a career in energy and sustainability than right now.

Whether you are a new graduate, someone seeking a fresh start or a professional looking to pivot into renewable energy, there are so many options available to you.

At EirGrid we are committed to fostering a supportive work environment, with flexible working options, enabling employees to balance their personal and work lives, while contributing to Ireland’s shift towards a cleaner energy future.

Hybrid working, flexible hours, education support and inclusion are all part of EirGrid’s efforts to create a culture of innovation and work-life balance. For more information visit www.eirgrid.ie/careers
