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. While providing the energy security Britain relies on today, we're also helping transform the network for a clean energy future.

Join us and help secure Britain's energy.

You will be part of National Gas Transmission’s Uncertainty Mechanism team, playing a critical role in shaping the future of the UK’s gas transmission network. As a Bid Specialist , you will work closely with stakeholders from across the business to secure funding for strategic capital investments.
