Associate Planner

The British Energy Security Strategy set out the Government’s ambition to connect up to 50GW of offshore generation to the electricity network by 2030. Delivering this ambition requires significant reinforcement of the onshore electricity transmission network — and National Grid Strategic Infrastructure is at the heart of making this happen.

At National Grid, we connect homes and businesses to power, ensuring supply meets demand every second of the day. From schools and hospitals to sporting arenas, we keep the lights on for millions of people across the UK.

Through our investment in Strategic Infrastructure and the Great Grid Upgrade, we are enabling more home-grown power, strengthening energy security, and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future.

We are currently recruiting for an Associate Planner to support the Eastern Green Link 1 (EGL1) project, spanning from Torness in East Lothian, Scotland to Hawthorn Pit in County Durham.

This role offers hybrid working with travel to sites across County Durham and Edinburgh required. We’re happy to discuss flexible working arrangements to help make this role work for you.

Job Purpose

EGL1 is a two-gigawatt high voltage direct current (HVDC) connection forming a critical part of the UK’s future energy infrastructure. This multi-billion-pound project is being delivered through a joint venture between SP Energy Networks and National Grid Electricity Transmission.

As an Associate Planner, you will support programme development, project delivery, progress reporting, and change assessment. You’ll work closely with experienced planners and project teams, building your expertise in planning tools such as Primavera P6 and gaining exposure to major infrastructure delivery. This role is ideal for someone looking to develop their planning career in a dynamic, collaborative environment, with opportunities for funded professional development and hands-on experience.

What You'll Do

Support construction planning activities, including preparing schedules, updating plans, and gathering project data
Assist in maintaining end-to-end planning processes to ensure safe, on-time project delivery
Contribute to early-stage programme development, supporting timeline creation and updates
Help ensure programme data aligns with monthly reporting cycles and is accurate and up to date
Support progress tracking, critical path analysis, and identification of early risk indicators
Collaborate with internal teams, joint venture partners, and contractors to maintain aligned project schedules
Assist in planning workshops to promote cross-team collaboration and programme alignment
Support project leads with logically linked programme planning and highlight potential impacts
Ensure key risks to milestones and critical path are identified early and communicated effectively
Provide insights and basic recommendations to support decision-making by Project Managers
Review contractor programme submissions for compliance with contractual requirements and flag any gaps
Contribute ideas to improve planning processes while learning best-practice techniques from experienced colleagues

About You

We’re looking for someone with a proactive mindset and a strong willingness to learn and develop.

You’ll ideally have:

Experience using Primavera P6
Some exposure to planning and project delivery
Experience working with cross-functional teams
Knowledge of NEC/FIDIC contract environments (desirable)
Strong Microsoft Office skills.
Good organisational skills to manage data, documentation, and planning information
An understanding of (or interest in learning) National Grid’s operational processes and standards
Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively

What You'll Get

A competitive salary between £42,781 up to £50,000 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.

This role closes on 26th of June at 23:59, however we encourage candidates to submit their application as early as possible and not wait until the published closing date as this can vary.

We work towards the highest standards in everything we do, including how we support, value and develop our people. Our aim is to encourage and support employees to thrive and be the best they can be. We celebrate the difference people can bring into our organisation, and welcome and encourage applicants with diverse experiences and backgrounds, and offer flexible and tailored support, at home and in the office.

We're committed to building a workforce that represents the communities we serve, and a working environment in which each individual feels valued, respected, fairly treated, and able to reach their full potential.

Please note that in most cases, National Grid is unable to offer sponsorship for employment under the UK points-based immigration system. As such, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points-based immigration system. However, in exceptional circumstances where there is a clear and demonstrable need for specialist skills that cannot be sourced from the local labour market, National Grid may consider offering sponsorship. All applications are welcome from candidates who meet these requirements, regardless of race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
