Requisition

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 transport 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.

Join our Major Programmes team and play a key role in delivering projects that support the safe and reliable operation of Britain's energy network. As an Assistant Project Manager Graduate, you'll gain hands‑on experience working on projects that upgrade critical control systems across National Gas infrastructure, giving you exposure to engineering, operational and technology‑focused environments within a nationally significant programme.

Based at St Fergus Terminal, you'll work alongside experienced project managers, engineers, contractors and delivery teams, gaining valuable insight into how major infrastructure projects are planned, coordinated and delivered. This is a fantastic opportunity to build practical project management experience while learning in a live operational environment.

Day‑to‑day, you could be:

• Supporting project planning and coordination activities.
• Helping manage project documentation and information.
• Assisting with project reporting and preparing updates for stakeholders.
• Supporting budget tracking and project cost activities.
• Helping identify and track project risks, actions and issues.
• Attending project and contractor meetings and ensuring actions are followed through to completion.
• Building relationships with colleagues and project partners across different locations.
• Learning how engineering projects move from design through to delivery.

Throughout the programme, you'll gain exposure to both the design and delivery phases of major projects, giving you a broad understanding of the project lifecycle. You'll develop strong communication, organisation and problem‑solving skills while building practical experience in a major infrastructure environment.

We're looking for someone who is curious, proactive and excited to build a career in project management. You won't be expected to know everything from day one, but you should enjoy solving problems, working with others and taking ownership of your work.

You'll be someone who:

• Has a genuine interest in engineering, infrastructure and project delivery.
• Enjoys organising activities and helping things run smoothly.
• Works well with others and builds positive relationships.
• Communicates clearly and confidently with a range of people.
• Takes initiative and is comfortable working independently when needed.
• Enjoys solving problems and finding practical solutions.
• Is adaptable and comfortable working across different environments.
• Has a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

A standout candidate will be enthusiastic and eager to develop.…
