We're looking for an Assistant Network Control Engineer (ANCE) to join our Gas Control Centre, within our System Operations team in Horley. This is an entry-level control room role, ideal for individuals looking to build a career in real-time gas control room operations. You'll be part of a 24/7 team responsible for monitoring and managing gas flows, responding to alarms, and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of our network.

As an ANCE, you'll be actively developing the skills and experience needed for full control room responsibility, supported by structured training and close collaboration with experienced Network Control Engineers and Network Control Managers. This role provides a pathway to progress into the Network Control Engineer (NCE) position, where you'll take on greater autonomy and technical leadership.

We deliver safety, warmth, and comfort to homes and businesses. Every role, whether in the office or on the front line, plays a key part in this mission. Here's how you will contribute...
  • Forecast gas demand using multiple data sources to meet Uniform Network Code obligations
  • Manage offtake flows and issue flow notifications within commercial and physical limits
  • Monitor equipment remotely, respond to plant alarms, and take action to maintain network safety
  • Adjust operating strategies in response to changing demand and weather conditions
  • Ensure target pressures and storage requirements are met through continual data review
  • Liaise with field engineers and maintain accurate logs of site activity and fault reports
  • Contribute to handovers and management information updates with precision and clarity
What you will need
  • Sound judgement and resilience under pressure - able to make accurate, time-critical decisions in a live operational environment
  • Strong organisational and diagnostic skills - capable of managing multiple data streams, identifying anomalies, and resolving issues methodically
  • Clear and confident communication - able to liaise effectively with field engineers, colleagues, and stakeholders, ensuring clarity and precision in all interactions
  • A collaborative mindset - comfortable working as part of a 24/7 team, contributing to shared goals and supporting others during high-pressure situations
  • A proactive and adaptable approach - willing to learn, take initiative, and respond flexibly to changing operational demands
  • Basic understanding of the gas industry - or a strong willingness to learn, including legislation, policies, and procedures relevant to control room operations
  • Commitment to safety and compliance - understanding the importance of regulatory obligations and operational discipline
  • BCM compliance - must reside within one hour of our Horley office to meet Business Continuity Management requirements
