Electrical Site Supervisor - Client Representative - Grid Stability Projects - Sligo/Derry - Long-Term Contract (2 Years)
A leading European renewable energy developer is seeking an experienced Electrical Site Supervisor to act as their client-side representative across three grid stability project sites in the northwest of Ireland (Sligo and Derry). Two of the sites have already mobilised, with civil works progressing and construction activity expected to increase significantly from mid-January.

- Oversee electrical and civil contractors to ensure quality workmanship aligned with project specifications
- Maintain strong focus on HSE fundamentals and promote safe site behaviours
- Conduct site walkdowns, inspections and readiness reviews for key work fronts
- Support pre-commissioning and energisation activities where relevant
- Provide clear weekly reporting and structured feedback to the senior project team

Demonstrable understanding of site safety and contractor management in complex, high-voltage environments
Previous experience on synchronous condensers, BESS, HV interconnectors or other grid-stability assets is beneficial but not mandatory
Location & Working Pattern
Sites located in Northern Republic and Northern Ireland
Ideal candidate will already live in the northwest region
Expected pattern: around four days per week on site across the three locations, with one day from home
Contract Details
Contract: Long-term (multi-site delivery programme)
Start: Immediate availability or short notice preferred
This position offers the opportunity to play a key delivery role in a unique and technically significant part of Ireland’s future grid stability strategy, supporting grid infrastructure across multiple live sites.
