About us

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

Keep critical energy infrastructure running safely and reliably. We’re looking for an Instrumentation Operations Technician to deliver hands-on support across compressor stations, pipelines and AGI assets.

Support commissioning of new assets and contribute to minor design improvements
Respond to incidents and support emergency operations, including standby cover
Oversee contractor activity to ensure safety and technical compliance
Participating in a standby rota once fully trained, typically one week in every four or five
