Northern Powergrid is the electricity distribution network operator who manages the electricity network that powers everyday life for 8 million people across 3.9 million homes and businesses in the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.

We take electricity from National Grid’s transmission network (which connects the larger power stations) and from smaller generators, such as windfarms, that are directly connected to our network, through more than 63,000 substations and 60,000 miles of overhead power lines and underground cables.

 

In an evolving energy industry, we have a key role in creating and managing future energy systems that increasingly interact with our customers and smart and low carbon technologies. That’s why we’re innovating and investing today, so we’re ready for the demands of net zero emissions tomorrow.

 

Whether you want to begin your exciting career journey as a graduate, trainee or apprentice, or you’re looking for new opportunities to build on your existing experience, you’ll find something unique with us.

 

We’re committed to creating job opportunities that support upskilling, reskilling and multiskilling to create a strong, diverse workforce. We empower a low carbon future and enable people, including those from underrepresented and socially disadvantaged groups, to unlock and reach their career potential.

As a 24/7 business, our people demonstrate a Power of 10 ‘can-do’ attitude and are proud to take personal responsibility, deliver quality, drive improvement, work as a team and build a stronger team.
