- Onboarding and transition workflows
- Employee-facing HR portals
IT Operations Management (ITOM)
Essential at an implementation level. You should understand and configure:
- Discovery
- Service Mapping
- Event Management
Deep platform engineering knowledge is not required, but you must be able to integrate ITOM with ITSM and operational workflows.
IT Asset Management (ITAM)
Essential for Technology Experience delivery. You should understand:
- Hardware and Software Asset Management concepts
- Asset lifecycles
- Integration between ITAM, CMDB, ITSM, and procurement

- Proficiency in JavaScript and ServiceNow scripting fundamentals
- Experience integrating ServiceNow with external systems
- Ability to translate business requirements into working platform configuration
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capability
- Comfortable working across IT, HR, and customer-facing teams
Security requirements

In the UK, National Grid don’t generate or sell energy – we join the dots to get energy from A to B. From making a cup of tea in the morning, to keeping the lights on in hospitals, our electricity network puts power in the hands of people. Without it, the world as we know it would grind to a halt.
The world of energy is changing beyond recognition as we focus on building a cleaner, greener future. Working at National Grid, you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in the UK – you’ll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.
Net-zero targets are transforming the way we work and increasing the scope of the positive impact we can make. Right now, we’re looking for apprentices to join us.
Our people in Network Services work across a number of teams to keep the lights on for our customers. They might be helping a customer who has lost supply or supporting a developer building a multi-million pound project.
They maintain a 24/7 service from faults and maintenance, asset replacement to new connections, working outdoors with underground cables, overhead lines and substations that operate between 230 and 132,000 volts, their work is critical to everything we do.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, 9.00am - 5.30pmSkills: Communication skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Number skills,Analytical skills,Logical,Team working,Initiative,Adventurous,Safety awareness,Resilient....Read more...
The apprenticeship programme takes approximately three years to complete, and you’ll spend your first 12 weeks being inducted onto the programme at one of our Training Centres. You’ll earn while you learn and develop your knowledge, skills and behaviours to become a Power Networks Craftsperson, achieving a City & Guilds Level 2 Qualification in Electrical Engineering. Your Training will include periods of on-the-job training and development, learning from an experienced and qualified Overhead Linesperson. Following a formal assessment of your knowledge, skills and behaviours, you’ll become a qualified Overhead Linesperson yourself.
Overhead Linespersons are overhead line engineers who work at height constructing, maintaining, testing, repairing and replacing overhead lines and equipment. In the projects team, you’ll work on distribution systems up to 132kV.
You will represent National Grid and carry out work handed down by other areas of the business.
Join us, and we’ll see you participate in craft skills activities on the live LV network, on dead LV, HV and EHV circuits (live HV circuits if part of a Hot Glove team). You’ll help with network operations, connect generators and services and organise your own projects. You’ll also:
Construct and alter overhead lines, install pole mounted plant, run and terminate cables to plant and overhead lines
Carry out routine inspection, maintenance and repairs of overhead equipment
Record asset routes, details and positions
Record plant details
Locate and identify cables, test insulation, phasing and continuity on LV cables
Test earthing, voltage, phasing and phase rotation
Write outage requests and switching programmes for simple outages
Training:You’ll need to be able to live away from home during your training; primarily at our Eakring Training Centre in Nottinghamshire. Typically, you’ll stay on-site from Monday to Thursday and return home for the weekend (Friday to Sunday). The amount of time spent at Eakring will decrease as you progress through the programme:
Year 1 – around 75%
Year 2 – around 50%
Year 3 – around 25%Training Outcome:
You’ll become a qualified Power Networks Craftsperson
