About us

At National Gas, the work we do matters.

As Britain's national gas network, we help keep the lights on, businesses running, and homes warm by maintaining the critical infrastructure that transports gas across Great Britain.

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Electrical Project Engineer to join our East Region Project Delivery team, supporting the development and delivery of electrical investment projects across the National Gas transmission network.

This is not a traditional electrical engineering role. Rather than focusing on operational maintenance activities, you'll provide electrical engineering leadership, technical assurance, and governance across a diverse portfolio of project work, from scope development through to commissioning and handover.

Why this role matters

Across our East Region, our compressor stations, Bacton Gas Terminal, and wider operational sites depend on safe and reliable electrical infrastructure. You'll help protect that performance by delivering investment projects and ensuring new and modified assets meet the right technical standards.

Working alongside project managers, designers, contractors, and operational teams, you'll influence engineering solutions, provide technical challenge, and help deliver improvements that support the long-term reliability and performance of critical gas transmission infrastructure.

Projects you'll work on

You'll support the delivery of a wide range of electrical infrastructure projects across the East Region, including:

• HV and LV electrical infrastructure upgrades
• Switchgear and transformer replacement programmes
• Standby generation and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) installations
• Compressor station and gas terminal modifications
• Electrical asset replacement and reliability improvement projects
• Construction, testing, and commissioning activities across operational gas transmission sites

These projects directly support the safe and reliable operation of some of the UK's most critical energy infrastructure. What you'll be doing

• Lead electrical design assurance activities across investment projects, ensuring compliance with standards, specifications, and governance requirements
• Review, challenge, and approve contractor design submissions, technical queries, and engineering changes
• Define and develop technical scopes that deliver safe, efficient, standardised, and cost-effective solutions
• Provide technical leadership throughout project development, construction, commissioning, and handover
• Assess technical risks, scope changes, and engineering impacts to support successful project delivery
• Undertake assurance activities to verify compliance with safety, environmental, quality, and technical requirements
• Build strong…
