Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with a history of influencing senior stakeholders. A degree-level education or equivalent professional credentials.

Benefits

A competitive salary of approximately £90,000 – based on qualifications and experience.

About National Grid

Transitioning to the National Energy System Operator

In the near future, the ESO will evolve into the National Energy System Operator (NESO), taking on the responsibility for planning Great Britain's electricity and gas networks and managing the electricity system.

The ESO will retain its core functions while significantly enhancing its capabilities to meet the needs of the energy system and its users. This transformation will allow us to consider various energy vectors, including electricity, natural gas, and hydrogen, while evaluating the trade-offs involved.

NESO will operate as a public corporation with an independent board, ensuring operational autonomy from government and commercial interests. Like the ESO today, NESO will be regulated by Ofgem, focusing on sustainable, affordable, and secure solutions for system operations and planning.

Join us in shaping the future of energy in Great Britain.

Commitment to Diversity

We strive to uphold the highest standards in all our endeavors, including how we support and develop our employees. We are dedicated to fostering a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve, ensuring that every individual feels valued and respected.

We welcome applicants from various backgrounds and experiences, providing tailored support to help everyone reach their full potential.
