Control Room Operator - Britned

About the role

At National Grid, we keep people connected and society moving. But it’s so much more than that. National Grid supplies us with the environment to make it happen. As we generate momentum in the energy transition for all, we don’t plan on leaving any of our customers in the dark. So, join us as a Control Room Operator and find your superpower.

National Grid is hiring two Control Room Operators to work on site at our Britned Interconnector in Rochester, Isle of Grain.

In this role, reporting to the Control Room Manager, you’ll be part of a dedicated shift team of HVDC Control Room Operators who are responsible for controlling and monitoring the operation of the Britned HVDC interconnector connecting the electricity systems of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. You will play an essential role in this 24/7 real-time operation, whilst gaining additional knowledge and experience of the technical and commercial activities which underpin our operations.

Please Note: As the role is based on site at the Isle of Grain, we require candidates who can drive with a full UK driving licence. There may also be travel to different sites for training within the first few months of joining the team.

Due to the nature of the role there is a requirement to work a shift pattern on a rotational basis which includes night working, weekends and occasional bank holidays.

What you'll do

As part of a small shift-based team, your day-to-day activities will include:

Remotely monitoring and controlling the safe, efficient and reliable operation of our interconnectors.
Using and interacting with a range of computer systems and data processes.
Understanding and promptly responding to equipment alarms and safety warnings.
Communicating and coordinating with on-site colleagues who undertake maintenance, investigation and resolution of equipment faults.
Ensuring all activities are undertaken in accordance with policies, procedures and safety rules.
Working closely with the stakeholders, partners and service providers who support our activities.

What you'll need

We highly value the behaviours, attitudes and skills which will help you to develop and excel in this role. In this case, we’re looking for someone who:

Has the ability to perform duties safely on their own, using procedures and without direct supervision.
Is naturally inquisitive, with the ability to interpret a range of operational data and draw conclusions on the action to be taken.
Has a proactive approach and can utilise taught operating principles to anticipate abnormal and critical conditions not necessarily identified by an alarm.
Has experience and confidence in using computer systems to undertake processes and manage data.
Is available for occasional travel to other UK and European locations during training and in exceptional operational situations.
Is happy to work rotating shift patterns, 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holiday periods.

#LI-HA1 #LI-HYBRID

What you'll get

A competitive salary of £47,442 per annum plus a shift allowance of upto 26% on top of the salary

As well as your base salary, you will receive a market supplement of £3000 paid annually, 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.

#LI-HA1 #LI-HYBRID

This role closes on 22nd June 2026 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 value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates – we make appointments purely on merit, assessed against objective selection criteria. We support flexible working and will make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process should you have any physical or mental impairment which may affect your ability to participate in the process.

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.
