Unlock your superpower and start your career in the electricity transmission industry.

£36,645 to £38,700 pa including allowances + benefits package + Company Vehicle with fuel from home to work.

It's a great opportunity for a Mechanical Fitter working in the South Wales Team. Due to the nature of our work we're looking for you to live somewhere within 30 minutes of Cardiff East substation, CF23 9AN.

We offer job stability as we play a vital role in powering the nation through our substations. Working in the Electricity Supply Industry is highly fulfilling, and we'll task you with a diverse workload that covers a wide range of asset types, technical complexities, and skillsets. Safety is paramount in our HV Transmission Substations, with our team members comfortable working to National Grid's high safety standards.

You'll collaborate with a team of 2 to 10 people, engaging in maintenance, refurbishment, or replacement work on electricity substations. This may include tasks such as circuit breaker and transformer replacements, maintenance of aging high-speed tap changers, and intricate 400kV circuit breaker work. Your responsibilities also extend to various ancillary equipment like DC battery systems, air compressors, and diesel systems.

What are the requirements?

A minimum Level 2/3 Apprenticeship in electrical or mechanical engineering or an NVQ/Level 3 electrical or mechanical qualification with the relevant experience is required. A Full UK Driving Licence. You can use a computer. Substation experienced – Desirable. IOSH – Desirable.

Some of the key skill areas we look for are Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic, Safety Procedures, Working at Height, Lifting Operations, Panel Wiring, and Fault Finding. It is not necessary that a successful candidate requires all of the above skillsets, but a wide breadth of knowledge would be beneficial. Prior experience in the electricity supply industry is beneficial but not mandatory, as we offer on-the-job and formal training opportunities for development.
