ENQEIR916 Planning and Environmental Services Framework

EirGrid requires a framework of planning and environmental specialists to provide specialist surveys and reporting in the areas of Planning, Geographical Information Systems, Archaeology, Ecology and Environmental services to ensure all statutory requirements are met in support of EirGrid meeting its strategic goals. The consulting requirements will typically be delivered at the Consultant’s premises, with visits to EirGrid on an ad-hoc basis. Whilst the majority of EirGrid staff work within an office environment some staff do work off site, primarily on projects and on our large interconnection sites. EirGrid employees circa 650 staff in its primary office in Dublin and has a number of contractors supporting the business.
