"I started in Operations as a business graduate. I was responsible for analysing and overseeing the financial transactions within electricity markets. Recently I joined the Sustainability team, where I promote responsible and sustainable business practices. The dynamic environment at EirGrid has made my time truly exciting and stimulating. The perfect place for an eager graduate!"

"My experience as an engineering graduate has been fulfilling. I've worked on facilitating the maintenance of the grid's assets, preparing offshore assets and even researching other electricity markets' incentives for long duration energy storage. It has been very rewarding to learn about the engineering behind the projects driving the transition to a low-carbon grid."
