About You

What we do isn’t just important – it’s essential. That’s why we look to recruit experts in their field.
In this case, we’re looking for someone who is organised, with excellent attention to detail and communication skills and, ideally, demonstrable experience of working within a construction site but this is not essential.

You’ll have a good understanding of Safety and Environmental legislation, practices, and policies. With an awareness of contract management within fixed price and target cost contracts, you’ll also have an appreciation of quality management systems.

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At National Grid, we’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace for everyone. So if you’re excited about this role but your experience or qualifications don’t match the job description exactly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be the right person for our growing business in this role or another one.

A competitive starting salary between £44,000 – £54,000 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.
