Utilities Dublin 2, Dublin 5,001–10,000 employees Founded 1927 Government Agency

ESB operates Ireland's integrated electricity system across generation, transmission, and distribution with a tech stack rooted in industrial control (SCADA, IEC 60870, DNP3, Modbus) and enterprise systems (SAP S/4HANA, Power BI). Active hiring leans heavily toward engineering (25 of 52 open roles) and operations, reflecting operational scale and infrastructure modernization work—fiber network expansion, battery and solar projects, and dam/civil infrastructure maintenance—alongside governance and compliance gaps surfacing in pain-point data.
