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 West Region Engineering Delivery team and play a key role in supporting projects that help keep Britain's gas transmission network running safely and reliably. As a Design Engineer Graduate, you'll gain valuable experience working at the centre of project teams, helping to coordinate engineering activities and support the delivery of major infrastructure projects.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop an understanding of how engineering designs move from initial ideas through to delivery. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, project teams and external partners, building both your technical knowledge and project coordination skills.

Day-to-day, you could be:

• Helping track project progress and key milestones.
• Managing project information and maintaining accurate records.
• Attending project meetings and helping follow up on actions.
• Working with colleagues and external partners to keep projects moving forward.
• Supporting the review and approval process for engineering designs.
• Preparing reports, updates and presentations for project teams.
• Learning how engineering and project delivery teams work together to deliver infrastructure projects.

Throughout the programme, you'll gain experience across a variety of projects and develop a broad understanding of engineering design and project delivery. You'll build strong organisational, communication and stakeholder management skills while learning how major infrastructure projects are planned and delivered.

You'll hold, or be on track to achieve, a degree in a relevant subject. Suitable degree disciplines include:

We're interested in your potential and transferable skills as much as your academic background. A strong application might include examples of:

• Planning and coordinating projects, events or activities.
• Managing multiple priorities and meeting deadlines.
• Working collaboratively as part of a team.
• Building relationships with different people.
• Organising information and maintaining accurate records.
• Using Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

Relevant placement experience, project work or extracurricular activities involving planning, organisation or stakeholder engagement would be beneficial, but they aren't essential. What matters most is your enthusiasm to learn, your organisational skills and your interest in engineering and project delivery.
