Job Details

Here at the Transmission Network Control Centre (TNCC), we are at the heart of real-time remote operational control of the high voltage electricity transmission system. The ‘Network’ consists of over 14,000km of circuit (400kV and 275kV), nearly 800 supergrid transformers, and 340 substations. 

 

The TNCC Control Room operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is responsible for a number of critical activities including facilitating safe access to the Network for maintenance and construction, responding to faults, events, alarms, and phone calls, and ensuring the safety of our Operations teams in the field. 

 

If you join as a Transmission Network Control Engineer - Higher Apprentice, you will spend your time equally between Aston University, studying for a Foundation Degree in Electrical Engineering, our National Training Academy in Eakring, completing a variety of in-house, specialist training, and our office headquarters in Warwick.

Company

In every moment energy is rolling over hills, winding through valleys, travelling across the country, and finding its way to our fingertips, on demand – and it’s up to us to keep people connected.

Through our energy transmission network, we connect millions safely and reliably to the energy they need. It’s this purpose that drives us forward. Join us and, together, we’ll work to build a more sustainable, better connected future.

National Grid touches the lives of almost everyone in the UK, with an energy network that stretches across the Atlantic. We’re an international team, and our work underpins the lives of millions of people. Feet forwards, head up, and eyes bright, we’re working hard to create value for people today – and shape the future of energy tomorrow.

In the UK, we don’t generate or sell energy – we join the dots to get energy from A to B. From making a cup of tea in the morning, to keeping the lights on in hospitals, our electricity network puts power in the hands of people. Without it, the world as we know it would grind to a halt.

Apprentices are at the heart of our ambitions, which is why we have been committed to investing in the futures of new talent for over 40 years. From engineers to our commercial and head office roles, there’s so many directions a career here could take. And, with new technology and innovation evolving at a rapid rate, there’s never been a better time to be part of our team.

A National Grid Apprenticeship isn’t just about getting a job – it’s an opportunity to join a new generation of talent, charged with the destiny of shaping the future of energy. We’ll help you develop your skills through a combination of practical work and academic study, all the while providing you with the passion, skills and knowledge you need to power all our futures.
