Project Support Officer

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 will require significant reinforcement of the onshore electricity transmission network — and National Grid Strategic Infrastructure is at the forefront of making this happen.

At National Grid, we connect homes and businesses to power, ensuring supply meets demand every second of every day. From schools and hospitals to major sporting venues, 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 energy, improving energy security, and building a cleaner future.

We are currently recruiting for a Project Support Officer to support the Eastern Green Link 1 (EGL1) project, linking Torness in East Lothian, Scotland with 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) electrical connection and a multi-billion-pound joint venture between SP Energy Networks and National Grid Electricity Transmission.

As a Project Support Officer on the EGL1 project, you will play a key role in supporting delivery across the full project lifecycle. You will work closely with Project Managers and the PMO team, assisting with day-to-day project coordination, governance, reporting, and communications.

This critical infrastructure project will unlock Scotland’s renewable energy potential by transporting clean energy to where it’s needed most, helping to power millions of homes and businesses. You’ll be part of a collaborative, high-performing team while developing your own career in project management.

What You'll Do

Support PMO Leads with all aspects of project management office activities
Assist Project Managers with organising and coordinating meetings
Manage action logs and help prioritise team workloads
Prepare reporting packs for forums, meetings, and stakeholder presentations
Support document management and maintenance of the project SharePoint site
Manage internal project communications to ensure consistency and clarity
Process and track Change Requests through the appropriate governance channels
Act as Technical Secretary in meetings, capturing key actions and decisions
Prepare governance documentation ahead of project stage gate reviews
Contribute to project controls processes, reporting, and continuous improvement

About You

We’re looking for someone who is organised, proactive, and keen to build a career in project management within a major infrastructure environment.

You’ll ideally have:

Experience working within a successful project delivery team
A strong desire to develop a career in project management
Exposure to major projects or knowledge of project controls and reporting principles.
An understanding of project lifecycle processes and stage gate governance
Strong stakeholder management skills
The ability to quickly build effective working relationships across teams
Excellent communication and organisational skills
A collaborative, team-focused approach
An APM Project Management qualification (or similar), or willingness to work towards one

What You'll Get

A competitive salary between £38,326 - £45,089 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.
