Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
You’ll be joining our Capital Projects construction team, who are responsible for a variety of work across nearly all aspects of National Gas’ infrastructure. Our Capital Projects team covers a wide range of work, from security upgrades, asset replacement and pipeline diversions, to working with industry for hydrogen and biomethane connections such as Project Union, where we’re repurposing existing gas transmission pipelines and building new pipelines to create a hydrogen ‘backbone’ for the UK.
Across your career here, you’ll start to specialise in particular areas (for example, Above Ground Instillations or Pipelines and Diversions). You’ll shadow, take on small projects initially, working towards taking on more responsibility as you grow. Your apprenticeship is just the start of your learning journey - to become a fully-fledged Site Supervisor you’ll continue to be supported on your journey to being a Site Supervisor.
This is a really varied role, and means you’ll get the opportunity to frequently travel across the UK. This means it’s essential that you’re able to drive, you’re comfortable with overnight stays and travelling multiple times a week to various sites. Travel will become an exciting part of your day-to-day life on the job.
You’ll learn how to:
- Supervise specialist contractors
- Control health and safety standards on construction projects
- Record, control and report on progress of a construction project
- The minimisation of the environmental impact of construction projects
- Control the quality of works on a construction project
- Assist commercial staff with the monitoring of costs on a construction project
We’ll work closely with your apprenticeship provider to review your progress at regular intervals, providing feedback and guiding your development. You’ll have a tailored personalised plan that ensures you have appropriate support and training. Most of your learning will be on the job, with off-the-job training and one-to-one tutoring.
Our sites are located across the UK, so you’ll need to be comfortable with travel, so being able to drive is essential. This means you’ll need to have a licence before joining us on September 1st, 2025.
