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

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.

These are predominantly pipelines-focused opportunities within our operations team, where you’ll maintain and support mechanical systems across operational gas infrastructure.

This role provides exposure to a range of disciplines, enabling you to develop experience beyond your core specialism. This is a field-based role, working closely with technicians and wider teams to keep assets safe, compliant and performing at their best.

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

What you'll bring

This role would suit someone who brings strong field-based engineering experience and thrives in disciplined, safety-led environments.

Proven maintenance and operations experience in instrumentation engineering (or similar process industry)
Experience diagnosing faults and maintaining plant and equipment in hazardous or safety-critical environment
Strong working knowledge of safe systems of work, including permits and isolations
Understanding of process plant operation and cross-discipline equipment interaction
Knowledge of relevant technical and health & safety legislation

Desirable

CompEx EX01–04 certification
