National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) owns and operates the high voltage electricity transmission system in England and Wales. Our role is key in enabling the net zero transition by providing the electricity infrastructure needed to meet the UK’s ambitious targets. This requires us to ensure we optimise across the requirements of a broad range of customers and stakeholders while also considering the socio-economic and environmental implications of everything we do.
As Long-Term Outage Planner you’ll be part of our Network Operations and Intelligence (NOI) function. NOI is at the heart of the NGET business, providing end-to-end strategic, engineering and planning leadership to deliver strong business performance while meeting the needs of our customers and our sustainability commitments.
As part of the Strategic Planning Team, you’ll be responsible for owning a zone of the rolling long-term plan which provides a forward-looking view of all works required to meet NGET’s future goals.
You’ll complete planning activities for the strategic 10-year outage plan, creating deliverable work plans to establish delivery targets, liaising with internal stakeholders to understand planning inputs, investments and constraints.
You’ll continuously manage and re-optimise outage plans based on changes, engaging with relevant internal stakeholders and delivery teams to understand planning inputs, investments and constraints. You will ensure cross-functional collaboration to ensure a smooth delivery, proactively resolving escalations where required.
Chairing strategic meetings and communicating the plan to all key stakeholders, you’ll manage potential risks effectively, including key issues and quality, to ensure consistent transparency.
We’re flexible on where you’re based, but we would like to see you at our offices in Warwick, ideally once or twice a week, and this can be combined with hybrid working from home. There will also be the need for site visits occasionally throughout the year.
