About the company

NovoGrid builds grid analytics software used by renewable energy and data centre developers, plus energy traders, to speed up site selection and grid connection decisions. NovoGrid says the products focus on rapid grid connection and curtailment assessments, with modules including GridScreen, GridCast, and GridAtlas. NovoGrid was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Dublin. In November 2024, SCADA International acquired NovoGrid, and the business is now part of the Opoura group.

Locations and presence

NovoGrid lists a base in Dublin and a location in London. NovoGrid also states operations across Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, and Texas.

Palpable Score

51.8

/ 100

NovoGrid has some real early-career entry points on record and a small set of employee feedback that points to a supportive environment, but current junior access is hard to validate because there are no live openings listed right now. Hiring process and pay signals exist via third-party postings and aggregated data, yet the public trail is too thin to score NovoGrid as a consistently junior-friendly hirer.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.3

/ 20

The company has published at least one explicitly entry-level role (Power System Engineer) framed as suitable for early-career electrical engineers.
NovoGrid currently shows no open roles on major job boards, which makes present-day entry-level access hard to rely on.
The company’s visible role mix in public salary and review data clusters around experienced engineering and account management, with limited evidence of recurring 0–3 year hiring.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company’s past role adverts include concrete requirements (degree level, skills) and a clear place to apply, which reduces guesswork for candidates.
NovoGrid has limited public detail on assessment tasks (for example, whether there is a take-home, live exercise, or structured rubric), so candidates cannot easily judge time burden.
The company has some interview experience reporting via aggregated third-party data, but the sample size is small and does not describe the typical steps.

‍

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company has employee review text describing approachable management, open feedback, and day-to-day learning through project work and collaboration.
NovoGrid’s entry-level engineering role wording points to a “supportive environment,” but does not spell out onboarding length, pairing, or review cadence.
The company does not publish early-career development structures such as mentorship, training budgets, or a ramp plan, which limits confidence for graduates deciding between offers.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.5

/ 20

The company has some externally visible pay signals through aggregated salary estimates for System Engineer and Senior System Engineer roles.
NovoGrid does not consistently publish salary ranges in job ads, so early-career applicants cannot check pay fairness before applying.
The company has too little public information on benefits, equity, or contract terms for juniors, beyond scattered third-party summaries.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company has third-party review ratings that score highly on job security and advancement, but the evidence base is only a couple of reviews.
NovoGrid has one public hiring-growth signal on LinkedIn (a post referencing new hires), but it does not provide retention, promotion, or conversion rates.
The company’s November 2024 acquisition included founders continuing in their roles, but NovoGrid does not publish post-acquisition early-career outcomes such as 12–24 month retention or internal progression paths.
