Safety and emergencies

There’s never been a more exciting time to join the energy sector. It’s a transformational era as we work to come up with solutions that will enable us to cut carbon emissions and tackle climate change. We need problem solvers, creative thinkers and people with passion to help us deliver a clean, green energy system for the future.
If you’re at school, at university, a graduate or looking for a new challenge, we are looking for the best minds to join our New Talent Programmes. But we know that making a choice about your career is a big decision, so we’ve handed over to five of our current apprentices and graduates to tell you what it’s like to work at National Grid.
