Appointments To The Panel Of Experts For Recognising International Professional Qualifications For Electrical Contractors

Commission For Regulation Of Utilities

Remote / Tallaght, Dublin 24

The CRU is the Competent Authority for electrical contractors in Ireland. The CRU carries out this function through the Registered Electrical Contractors (REC) statutory regulatory scheme. The Electrical Criteria Document , sets out how Scheme operates. The current qualification requirements are as follows:   • An Advanced Craft Certificate – Electrical (Level 6, NFQ.   The European Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive 2005/36/EC  (“the Directive”), obliges the CRU to put in place a system of recognition for eligible persons from EEA Member States with relevant non-Irish qualifications applying for registration to the REC scheme.    In August 2019, the CRU published a decision paper  on the recognition processes for professional qualifications. The decision paper set out that the CRU would establish a panel of subject matter experts to review applications from people with relevant non-Irish professional qualifications.   The function of the Panel is to review and assess the applicants’: • Professional Qualification(s. • Additional post-qualifying education and training. • Professional work experience.   Applicants will be required to fill out an application form with the relevant details relating to their qualification(s) and professional experience. The role of the Panel of Experts (“the Panel”) is to review the applications and assess if applicants have demonstrated an appropriate level of competence to become registered with the REC scheme.    The Panel will map the respective applicant’s qualification(s) against the list of essential subjects/learning outcomes of the relevant accepted Irish qualification(s). If there are any substantial differences (deficits) between the applicant’s qualification(s) and the essential subjects/learning outcomes, the Panel will assess if the applicant’s professional work experience addresses these deficits.    The Panel will then decide if compensation measures need to be applied, namely by either sitting an aptitude test or completing an adaptation period.     https://www.cru.ie/document_group/recruitment-and-consultancy/    Closing date: 20/05/2022.   Please note that this advertisement is being hosted by the Public Appointments Service on publicjobs.ie.
