Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
By working closely with internal teams and external partners, you’ll help drive the UK’s energy transition, making the grid more resilient and ready for clean, low-carbon power.

This will include:
- Driving digital innovation by supporting the development of cutting-edge digital products that improve efficiency and collaboration across National Grid’s Infrastructure Delivery Team.
- Get involved in the full lifecycle of digital tools from project management and risk assessment to data analysis, working closely with product managers and tech teams.
