We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers.

We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
About your team:
We’re the pride of Ireland. Bord Gáis Energy have been powering the nation’s homes and businesses for almost 40 years. But now, we’re so much more than just gas and electric. Through our unique combination of household heroes and energy assets, we’re at the heart of the energy transition in Ireland, strengthening the country’s energy security and helping customers get ready for a net zero future.
About your role:
We’re seeing a Planning & Consenting Manager to manage all planning issues and requirements in-house, including site strategies, planning, construction, and operation of thermal/renewable/storage/flexible demand assets.
You’ll be responsible for co-ordinating and guiding Environmental Impact assessments, preparing and reviewing planning applications, and managing pre and post commencement planning conditions. You’ll lead on planning and consenting applications for projects including thermal, renewable, storage asset and flexible demand. You’ll liaise with design teams, County Councils/ABP, relevant state bodies and stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered in a timely manner. You’ll also support site feasibility studies, prepare and present business cases and plans to the business, and work closely with a number of internal teams to deliver optimal solutions.
Here's what we’re looking for:
- A planning/environmental qualification to degree level – relevant experience in the wind/renewable energy industry an advantage.
- A minimum of 3+ years post qualification experience
- Experience of EIA and sound knowledge of Irish planning legislation, policy, and practices related to the energy sector.
