Hi, I’m Kyri and I’m an apprentice Substation Engineer in the Electricity Transmission Operations business.
No matter who you are or where you come from, if you have enthusiasm you can work for National Grid. There are so many routes into different apprenticeships and jobs.
Hi, I’m Janeece and I’m a Business Analyst Apprentice at National Grid.
On A-Level results day, I had to choose between an IT apprenticeship here or a French Studies degree at Warwick University. I’m so glad I decided to start working immediately, especially for such an exciting and impactful company. Each day I’m learning new things as I progress. Power is so essential to our everyday lives and I get to be part of the energy workforce.
Hi, I’m Alyssa and I’m an Electricity Transmission Substation Craftsperson Advanced Apprentice. It’s quite a mouthful. Basically I’m one of the people who carries out the essential maintenance work on site and I’m in the second year of a three-year apprenticeship.
I’m working on how we can best decarbonize the heating sector for New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Our team is looking into potential solutions such as heat electrification, geothermal energy and low-carbon fuel alternatives.
We aren’t trying to find a one-size-fits-all answer but are looking at how we can help customers transition into the low-carbon solution that works best for them.
Following the completion of remedial works on an intermediate pressure metering installation at the hospital, it was flagged to NGM’s Integrity Engineer, Steve Knight that the hospital had a severe issue and ran the risk of losing their water, heating and hot water.
Even though this issue was not under the scope of NGM, Steve could not leave the hospital knowing they were in potential difficulty.
The Prime Minister’s 10-point plan for a green recovery has 10 steps in the right direction on the path to net zero, with a welcome boost for tackling emissions in Britain’s homes, on the road and in industry.
J Murphy and Sons are undertaking vital infrastructure works for National Grid in the west end of Nailsea. They are undergrounding 132kV electric cables from Nailsea to Portishead as part of the Hinkley Connection Project, which will connect six million UK homes and businesses to low-carbon energy.
Headteacher Dionne Elliot says: “The traffic cones around site have made such a difference – we’ve been able to clearly mark out one-way systems and areas to maintain our bubbles. Murphy’s generosity is much appreciated.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out a 10-point plan that will create and support up to 250,000 British jobs.
Covering clean energy, transport, nature and innovative technologies, the Prime Minister’s plan is particularly crucial in the run up to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow next year.
The UK is hosting COP26, the next UN climate conference, and we’re delighted to be the first of a number of Principal Partners of this important global climate event.
COP26 is arguably the most important climate event since the 2015 Paris Agreement as governments around the world will be reporting back on progress and agreeing new actions to cut carbon emissions.
As one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the world, National Grid plays a vital role at the heart of a clean, fair and affordable energy future.
