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 Project Delivery team at St Fergus Terminal and help deliver engineering projects that support the safe and reliable operation of Britain's gas transmission network. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in a live operational environment while developing your engineering and project delivery skills alongside experienced professionals.

As an Electrical and Instrumentation Project Engineer Graduate, you'll support projects that maintain and improve critical gas infrastructure. You'll gain exposure to the full project lifecycle, from early planning and design through to delivery and completion, while working with engineers, contractors and operational teams across the business.

Day‑to‑day, you could be:

• Supporting the planning and delivery of engineering projects.
• Assisting with engineering design and technical reviews.
• Helping to coordinate activities with contractors and delivery partners.
• Reviewing technical information and project documentation.
• Monitoring project progress and helping track key actions.
• Working with operational teams and engineering specialists to support successful project delivery.
• Learning how engineering projects are delivered safely within a complex operational environment.

Throughout the programme, you'll develop an understanding of engineering design, project delivery, stakeholder management and safe working practices. You'll build strong technical, communication and problem‑solving skills while gaining valuable experience in a critical infrastructure environment. This role provides an excellent foundation for a future career in engineering project delivery and technical engineering roles.

We're looking for someone who is curious, collaborative and excited to develop their engineering knowledge. You won't be expected to know everything from day one, but you should enjoy solving problems, understanding how things work and learning from experienced colleagues.

You'll be someone who:

• Has a genuine interest in engineering and infrastructure projects.
• Enjoys solving problems and finding practical solutions.
• Works well with others and builds positive working relationships.
• Communicates clearly and confidently with a range of people.
• Takes ownership of their work and follows tasks through to completion.
