About the role

At National Grid Ventures (NGV), we’re shaping the future of energy by developing and delivering innovative infrastructure projects that connect clean energy across borders.

Support integration of third-party systems into OEM control systems
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including civil and cable engineering
Contribute to technical input during tender assessments

What you'll need

Experience in infrastructure or energy projects, delivering high-quality outputs to deadlines
Strong understanding of the power industry
Knowledge of HVDC control and protection systems (or strong desire to develop expertise)
Technical understanding of converter station components
Ability to manage competing priorities and make sound technical decisions

What you'll get

A competitive salary between - £61,416.00 - £72,671.00 per annum– dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
