National Gas is responsible for operating and maintaining Britain's national gas transmission network, helping to keep the lights on, businesses running and homes warm.

We manage the critical infrastructure that safely and reliably transports gas across Great Britain, supporting the energy security that millions of people depend on every day.

While delivering for Britain today, we're also preparing for tomorrow. Through innovation, investment and the development of future energy infrastructure, we're helping to create a cleaner and more sustainable energy system for generations to come.

As a graduate, you'll be given meaningful responsibility from the start, supported to develop professionally, and empowered to contribute to projects that have a real impact on the nation's energy future. Whether you're solving complex challenges, driving innovation or delivering essential services, you'll play an important role in an organisation with genuine purpose.

Join us and help shape the future of energy.

As an Assistant Project Manager Graduate, you'll join our Scotland & North Investment Delivery team and play a key role in supporting the delivery of critical asset health, refurbishment and upgrade programmes across the National Gas network. You'll work alongside experienced Project Managers, contributing to projects that help maintain the safe and reliable operation of our infrastructure.

Your responsibilities could include supporting project coordination, stakeholder engagement, programme delivery, risk management, forecasting and project reporting, while developing an understanding of the full project lifecycle.

Throughout the scheme, you'll build strong relationships with Project Managers, engineers, contractors and operational colleagues, gaining valuable experience in project governance, planning and delivery. You'll develop the skills and confidence to work across operational sites, offices and project teams, taking on increasing responsibility and ownership as your experience grows.

This is an exciting opportunity to launch a career in project management while contributing to projects that have a real impact on Britain's energy infrastructure.

We're looking for someone who is eager to learn, enjoys working with others and is excited by the opportunity to build a career in project management. You'll be a strong team player who can build positive working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and approach challenges with a proactive and positive attitude.

You'll be organised, detail-oriented and capable of managing multiple priorities, with an interest in planning, project delivery and stakeholder management. You'll enjoy working collaboratively and be keen to develop your skills through hands-on experience in a delivery-focused environment.

We celebrate the different experiences our colleagues bring to our organisation and strongly encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply.

You'll be on track to achieve or have already achieved a degree in Project Management, Business Management, Engineering

• Knowledge or experience of project planning, project coordination, scheduling or financial forecasting, gained through university projects, placements, part-time work or other experiences.
• Strong organisational and planning skills.
• Confidence using Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.
• The ability to communicate effectively and build relationships with a range of stakeholders.

A good application will include a cover letter to help us understand why you're a great fit for the role. Be sure to include any other relevant experience or university modules.
