Greenvolt Next’s Waterford headquarters to grow as renewable energy demand drives hiring and investment.
Greenvolt Next has revealed plans to create 90 new jobs across Ireland and the UK, with more than half of those roles to be based at its Waterford headquarters as the company accelerates its expansion in response to rising demand for renewable energy solutions.
The business, part of the wider Greenvolt Group, will recruit 50 employees in Waterford and a further 40 in the UK over the next 12 months. The hiring drive will focus on experienced professionals, including project engineers, senior project engineers, project managers and site managers, to support a growing pipeline of commercial and industrial projects.
“We want to continue making a tangible impact for businesses and the environment”
The recruitment forms part of a broader investment strategy that includes the physical expansion of the company’s Waterford base. The headquarters is being extended by over 2,100 square feet and fitted with updated technologies designed to support the next phase of growth.
Greenvolt Next said the increased headcount will strengthen its ability to deliver larger-scale renewable projects for developers and landowners, particularly as businesses intensify efforts to reduce emissions and meet sustainability reporting requirements.
Powering the green transition

The company has established itself as a key partner for organisations transitioning to cleaner energy. Its portfolio includes major installations such as the Sanofi solar farm in Waterford, alongside projects for retailers including Lidl, Aldi and Tesco.
Growth expectations remain strong. Greenvolt Next is projecting a significant rise in revenue over the next three years, supported by sustained demand for solar energy systems and battery storage solutions. The business also expects regulatory drivers, including corporate sustainability reporting requirements, to play an increasing role in shaping client demand.
Environmental impact remains central to the company’s strategy. In 2025 alone, Greenvolt Next reported that its projects helped customers reduce carbon emissions by 30,000 tonnes. That figure is expected to increase sharply, with a further 150,000 tonnes of CO2 forecast to be avoided over the next three years as more organisations adopt renewable technologies.
Owen Power, CEO of Greenvolt Next Ireland and the UK, said the expansion reflects both market momentum and the company’s long-term ambition.
“Our success to date has been driven by our ability to deliver the most reliable and cost-effective energy solutions to customers, underpinned by unmatched resources and expertise,” he said.
“Looking to the future, which will only see greater demand for such projects, we want to continue making a tangible impact for businesses and the environment.”
He added that continued investment in infrastructure and talent will be critical to maintaining that trajectory.
“That means investing in operations, growing the team and innovating for customers. As well as marking the next stage in our own journey, this will allow us to make renewable energy easy for more organisations across Ireland and the UK. In turn, they will not only be more sustainable but also more successful,” Power said.
