Job Details
We are the people behind Ireland’s electricity grid. We operate the power system with world leading levels of variable asynchronous renewable generation, ensuring that everyone has power when they need it. But that’s not all, we are now transforming the power system for future generations.
And that’s just the beginning of our story. We have a critical purpose. That purpose is to transform the power system to enable our society to reduce our carbon emissions and meet our climate change and net zero ambitions.
Be part of the transformation!
The Opportunity
The successful candidate will support the Onshore PMO Head of Function in developing and leading a team responsible for developing the onshore business intelligence and analytics offering. You will also be responsible for leading strategic, change related projects – with outcomes for example to simplify reporting and storytelling of onshore business readiness and onshore capital projects with the C-Suite, Government and the Regulator across our complex programme of work.
The role holder will lead the team in implementing the Business aspects of this work which are complex in nature and require significant changes to how we source, store, transform, consolidate, quality assure and analyse our data. The role also involves driving business process and inputs for IT system and application deliverables and outcomes. This will be achieved by Business Intelligence Team led collaboration across the EirGrid Business and IT teams in the areas of business intelligence, data modelling and analytics, business process change and reporting and controls.
In this position you will be leading a team who act as the primary interface for PMO Onshore business engagement in the delivery of business intelligence and Onshore IT projects. You will work closely with the onshore team and business experts and lead strategic partner resources to deliver large programmes of work and ensure engagement and formal agreement throughout. You should be able to move seamlessly between traditional agile project development methods.
The Team
The Infrastructure office leads the development and delivery of the power system, onshore and interconnection investment programmes in collaboration with partners, customers and communities.
The Onshore Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for undertaking three key roles within Infrastructure; Regulation and Compliance Reporting and Auditing, Business Operations and Governance, and Business Intelligence. The team is responsible for setting the governance policies and standards to be used for onshore business readiness and large scale onshore transmission infrastructure and regulatory auditing and monitoring of OpEx and CapEx delivery.
The team also develops reports on schedule and financial information and delivery of outcomes and benefits aligned to strategic objectives across the development and readiness of the onshore transmission infrastructure to key stakeholders such as DECC and the CRU.
