Introduction
Southwest of England and South Wales. Serving communities of more than 8 million people, our expert teams deliver heat, light and power for homes and businesses. National Grid employs over 29,000 people worldwide. We are building an inclusive workplace that celebrates the cultures, personalities and preferences of our colleagues, reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve. Our vision is to be at the heart of a clean, fair and affordable energy future, tackling climate change while exploring renewable, low‑carbon energy sources to improve efficiency and meet demand.
Main Responsibilities
After training, you will be hands‑on, responsible for project design, costing and quoting, and for the replacement, diversion or reinforcement of existing electricity network assets. As an electrical consultant you will use your expertise to determine whether the supply chain can handle new electrics in an area.
* Plan, prepare and deliver new services, alterations and small capital projects
* Design schemes that align with Engineering Directives and take into account voltage drops
* Prepare quotations and Connection Agreements for LV connection‑related works
* Access, remove or avoid site risks
The Ideal Candidate
You may already have low‑voltage experience as an electrician or a Grade 4 Network Planner. Either way, you must understand our customers and their needs – small businesses, local authorities or house builders. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will coordinate jobs, solve problems and explain issues simply and clearly.
Being in control of your diary, you should be resilient, organised and able to prioritise your workload. Team players thrive in this role; experience using iPads and computers is a must. We provide training in the specialised software required for this technical role. A full UK driving licence is required for site visits.
You may not possess all the skills required at present, but you should have the confidence and ability to reach the necessary standards with appropriate training.

* Annual Share Save plan
* Contributory private healthcare scheme for you and your family

Things you need to know
National Grid Electricity Distribution is committed to safeguarding the interests of the Company, colleagues and customers. This role is subject to a satisfactory Barring Service (DBS) check. Depending on the role, different levels of screening and vetting are required; some roles require a tri‑annual check.
