Current Roles
We have an exciting opportunity in the Energy Savings Obligation Unit in the Public Sector and Regulatory Programmes Department.
The Public Sector and Regulatory Programmes Department develops, administers and manages a range of energy efficiency and emissions reduction programmes, designed to deliver on national and European climate and energy targets.
The Energy Savings Obligation Unit is focused on supporting Ireland in the achievement of our binding energy savings target under Article 8 of the Energy Efficiency Directive. The Unit consists of two teams.
- the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme (EEOS), led by the EEOS Programme Manager. This scheme places legal obligations on energy suppliers to deliver energy efficiency savings across both domestic and non-domestic sectors. As the scheme administrator, SEAI is responsible for calculating targets, stakeholder engagement and validating and reporting on energy savings achieved.
- the newly formed Article 8 Policy and Compliance programme, led by the Article 8 Programme Manager. This programme is responsible for the framework of policy measures (current and planned) contributing towards the achievement of Ireland’s Article 8 target. The framework activities include devising calculation methodologies, monitoring of progress and compliance, investigating opportunities, supporting policy development and stakeholder engagement.
Within the Unit, both teams work very closely together, reflecting the policy, technical and operational linkages between the two programmes.
The successful candidate will report to the EEOS Programme Manager; however, their role will be across both teams in the Unit (anticipated to be 60% on EEOS, 40% on Article 8 Policy and Compliance).
The successful candidate will join an enthusiastic and innovative team who are committed to the high-quality delivery of SEAI’s administration of the EEOS and wider Article 8 policy and compliance activities.
They may be required from time to time to support other functions in the department, as necessary.
Full details of the key responsibilities, key knowledge and skills, experience and personal qualities required are set out in the Candidate Information Booklet.
