Electrical & Instrumentation Operations Technician (South East)

£44,642 to £52,519 + up to 6% bonus + access to liveried vehicle

Up to 10-15% additional earnings through overtime and standby

Chelmsford (South East of England)

Field‑based across the South East of England, with Chelmsford as the central compressor station.

You’ll travel to multiple sites across the area (we call this the E5 zone) 5 days a week, so you’ll need to be based locally and comfortable with regular travel. Some travel to our regional hub in Peterborough will also be required.

About us

National Gas is securing Britain’s energy. We transport gas throughout Great Britain, repair and maintain gas pipelines, and manage the meters that allow millions of homes and businesses to access the energy they need. We are the national gas network, providing secure energy to power Britain, achieve net zero, and maintain our industrial competitiveness.

About the role

You’ll be a key electrical and instrumentation specialist for the area - keeping critical assets running safely, reliably and efficiently. This is predominantly a pipelines-focused role, working across a range of operational gas infrastructure.

Working as part of the operations team, you’ll take ownership of maintaining and supporting electrical and associated systems, playing a hands-on role in fault finding, repairs and performance improvement.

From day-to-day maintenance through to emergency response, you’ll be right at the centre of operations - working with field instrumentation technicians and wider operational teams, helping to keep plant, pipelines and equipment safe, compliant and performing at their best. There will also be plenty of opportunities to develop cross-discipline experience across electrical and instrumentation systems.

What you'll be doing

Carry out installation, maintenance, inspection and fault-finding across electrical and associated systems
Support commissioning of new assets and upgrades to existing plant and equipment
Work safely within the permit-to-work system, including issuing permits and setting work parties to work
Maintain accurate records of maintenance, operations and control of work activities
Respond to faults and incidents, supporting safe and efficient resolution
Contribute to operational, safety and emergency procedures and plans
Undertake roles within emergency response, including incident control when required
Monitor and help protect pipeline and site assets, including supporting inspection programmes
Oversee contractor activities where required to ensure safety and technical standards are met
Support delivery of capital projects, including involvement in commissioning, factory acceptance testing (FAT) and associated safety studies
Contribute to Management of Change processes, ensuring changes are understood and implemented safely in line with site and network requirements
Participate in a standby rota once fully trained

About you

You’ll be someone who enjoys getting hands-on and taking ownership of your work. You’re confident fault-finding and solving problems, and you take pride in keeping systems running safely and reliably.

You’ll work well as part of a team, but you’re equally comfortable taking the lead on tasks and making decisions when it counts. You understand the importance of following safe systems of work and supporting consistent standards across the area. Safety is always front of mind, and you’re proactive in spotting and addressing risks before they become issues.
