At National Grid Ventures, we're helping connect countries, markets and communities to create a cleaner, more secure energy future. Nemo Link is the first electricity interconnector between Great Britain and Belgium, enabling electricity to flow between neighbouring markets and supporting the delivery of secure, affordable and low-carbon energy.
We're looking for an Operations Controller to join our team at Richborough Converter Station. Playing a vital role in the safe and reliable operation of one of the UK's most important energy assets, you'll work as part of a 24/7 shift team responsible for monitoring and controlling the Nemo Link Interconnector.
From overseeing real-time system performance to responding to operational events and alarms, you'll help ensure the interconnector remains available and operating safely. You'll support the management of electrical, mechanical and control systems, carry out site inspections, complete routine operational checks and maintain accurate operational records.
You'll also support fault investigation and first-line maintenance activities, assisting with electrical, mechanical and PLC-related troubleshooting in line with established procedures. Working closely with colleagues across the UK and Belgium, you'll contribute to maintaining the high standards of safety, reliability and performance expected of critical national infrastructure.
The role is based on site at Nemolink, in Sandwich. Please note, you must live within an hours travel of site with a full UK driving licence.
This is a shift-based role working a 12-hour rota pattern of four days on, four days off, covering both day and night shifts.
