About the role


Joining a Higher Apprentice Programme at National Grid gives you the opportunity to be responsible for the successful planning and delivery of project work, with real responsibility from day one.


If you know what career direction you want to take, why not start a career whilst also studying at university or college, debt free, and getting experience under your belt.


As a Higher Apprentice in the Project Delivery team, you’ll gain experience in all aspects of health and safety management, quality management, collaborating with contractors, and programme management including:


  • Supporting Project Managers and their teams during project delivery
  • Understand the project milestones
  • Support with project reporting and site coordination with stakeholders
  • Help with the management of the contractor’s performance to meet the key project deliverables
  • Ensure Quality and Safety procedures are being adhered to throughout the course of the projects
  • Work with contractors and third parties to develop a safety culture in line with National Grid standards
  • Support with the collection and management of project documentation
  • Attend project meetings and support with weekly reports
  • The opportunity to be involved in project planning and programme management of live projects
  • Work with Operations to ensure and understand safety from the system.

By achieving all of this you’ll be making sure we build our projects to time, cost, and quality.


Within the Planning, Estimating, Risk and Reporting team, you’ll gain experience in all aspects of estimating, risk and cost management including:


  • Participating in scheme teams, preparing budget estimates for future construction projects through their development from business case to contract award

  • Maintaining the Cost Book, we use to estimate the process of our work to reflect market trends by analysing tender submissions and outturn prices on completed projects
  • Helping to run risk workshops and scanning project risk registers to identify and flag broader risk trends that might impact our portfolio
  • Understanding how projects interact with each other and the operational constraints of a live system with National Grid’s outage plan
  • The opportunity to be involved in project planning and programme management of live projects.

Thanks to the mix of formal study at college and practical experience at our offices in Warwick, you’ll develop well-rounded skills. Upon successful completion of the programme, you can look forward to a permanent job within the Delivery team.


As one of our Higher Apprentices, we’ll help you develop your skills through a combination of practical work and academic study, all the while providing you with the passion, skills and knowledge you need to power all our futures.
