We have an exciting opportunity in the Community Energy Grants Team in the Community and National Retrofit Department. The Community Energy Grant scheme is part of the government's National Retrofit Programme aimed at upgrading building stock and facilities to high standards of energy efficiency and renewable energy usage, thereby reducing fossil fuel usage, energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. By supporting project structures that can be easily replicated, the Community Energy Grant scheme hopes to showcase retrofit project models that can be implemented without SEAI support in the future. As part of this initiative, the Community Energy Grant scheme supports new approaches to achieving high-quality improvements in energy efficiency within Irish communities. By bringing together groups of buildings under the same retrofit programme, community projects facilitate community-wide energy improvements more efficiently and cost-effectively than might otherwise be possible. The primary objective of the scheme is to support and maximise the number of home energy upgrades delivered. Non-domestic projects are supported to encourage the engagement of communities to build low-carbon and sustainable communities. The successful candidate will join an enthusiastic and innovative team who are committed to the high-quality delivery of SEAI’s Community Energy Grant Programme.

We have a number of exciting opportunities across two programmes in the Public Sector and Regulatory Programmes Department, a dynamic team within the Business, Public Sector and Transport Directorate:
- Public Sector - Energy Services Programme
- Public Sector - National Estates Programme
Public Sector Energy Services
SEAI support public bodies through a Partnership approach. In exchange for committing to achieving the public sector energy targets, SEAI provide a Partnership Support Manager (PSM). The PSM coordinates the delivery of several supports for partnering public bodies, namely: support in developing an energy management programme appropriate to their size, a Gap to Target analysis looking at their usage data and planned projects, and an annual review of Critical Success Factors, those elements SEAI deem critical for the public body to achieve the targets. The programme also delivers an annual calendar of events, training, and support services. The programme links heavily with the Public Sector National Estates Programme and the Public Sector Pathfinder Programme.
Reporting to the Public Sector Services Programme Manager the successful candidate will focus on development, management, and co-ordination of a range of standardised supports to help public bodies improve energy efficiency and decarbonise their energy use. This will involve working closely with 348 public bodies to establish energy management programmes and project pipelines appropriate to their size and scale.
The Programme Executive will also be involved in the development and coordination of two new sub-schemes directed initially at the public sector that will focus on Retro-commissioning and Operation and Maintenance.
Public Sector National Estates
This is a new programme with the Public Sector suite of programmes. It will support large public sector bodies and sectors in planning and delivering their public sector targets. It will focus mostly on supporting the five main National Estate Portfolio Leads (NEPL) to plan and deliver the decarbonisation of their building stock. This include for example the HSE and health sector as a whole, the Department of Education and schools, the OPW and central government, the Department of Further and Higher Education Research Innovation and Science and the ETB/University/College sector, the local authority sector, New Era and the semi state sector (i.e. Uisce Eireann, Dublin Airport) and other larger public bodies such as the Defence Forces & Prison Service for example. The supports will firstly help these public bodies and sectors develop and model pathways to achieve the targets. It will then support them establish and implement a project pipeline from the pathway analysis. The programme will link heavily with the Public Sector Pathfinder programme to deliver an annual capital investment programme linked to a three-year rolling investment project pipeline. It will work closely with the Public Sector Energy Services programme which delivers supports at individual public body level.
Reporting to the Public Sector National Estates Programme Manager, the successful candidate will join an innovative and dynamic team of programme executives.
The successful candidate will support large PBs and sectors to develop pathways to achieve all the various targets, and specifically deliver an annual and a three-year rolling investment plan, optimising SEAIs capital contribution through the Pathfinder programme.
These positions will play a key role in the Public Sector and Regulatory Programmes Department.
