Ireland's transmission system operator modernizing the grid for renewable energy
EirGrid operates Ireland's electricity transmission network and is actively rebuilding it to handle 80% renewable penetration by mid-century. The tech stack reveals a hybrid infrastructure modernization: legacy SCADA and Oracle systems anchoring critical grid operations, paired with a rapid cloud migration to Azure (Fabric, DevOps, Purview adoption). Hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineering (27 of 39 roles) and tilted toward offshore infrastructure and ERP implementation—indicating both capital-intensive project execution and a shift from manual, siloed operations to integrated platforms.
Notable leadership hires: Lead Engineer, Lead Analyst, Network Innovation Director
