You’ll be covering different sites across your patch, so expect some travel.
At National Gas, we really take the time to understand what you want to achieve out of your role and career, that’s why we encourage people to speak about their personalised development plan early on. This might be developing in your existing role, you might even have your sights set on a higher-level position, whatever it is we will give you the support and tools needed to succeed.
Because this role works so closely with the UK Critical National Infrastructure it does requires National Security Vetting and for us that means you cannot have a criminal record and in the last 5 years you cannot have been out of the UK for cumulatively 6 months or greater than.
