About Us

We’re National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), the owner and operator behind the electricity distribution systems for the Midlands, the Southwest of England and South Wales. Serving communities of more than 8 million people, our expert teams deliver heat, light and power for homes and businesses.

National Grid employs over 29,000 people worldwide. We are building an inclusive workplace, a place to actively celebrate the cultures, personalities and preferences of our colleagues – who in turn help to build the success of our business and reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. Our vision is to be at the heart of a clean, fair and affordable energy future and we are doing this in a fast-moving industry with an increasing focus on tackling climate change, exploring new energy sources that are renewable, low carbon, and improve efficiency to meet demand.

Job Introduction

An opportunity is available for an Operator (Underground) based at Llanfihangel-ar-arth, Carmarthenshire.

As an Operator you will assist a Craftsperson with construction, maintenance, replacement and repair of underground networks up to and including 33kV.

To apply, you will need to hold English & Maths GCSE (1-9/G-A*) or equivalent qualification deemed to be at the same level in these subjects, such as Functional Skills. Evidence of your qualifications will be required prior to appointment.

Main responsibilities

The work will involve being away from the depot, working on your own or in a team of two people. The working environment requires quick, decisive and responsible actions to meet the demands of the role.

Duties may include:

  • The operation of mechanical equipment
  • Minimising the adverse impact of own activities on customers
  • Advising customers affected of the impact of own activities
  • Resolving customer complaints wherever possible
  • Maintaining tools, equipment and vehicles in a safe condition
  • Routine inspection and repairs of equipment

Ideal candidate

You will need to be flexible in your approach to assist the team in meeting its objectives. In addition, you will need to be mobile throughout the area as you may be required to undertake standby duties, therefore a valid driving licence is essential. HGV or excavator experience would be beneficial but is not a necessity.

You will ideally also have some experience in the electrical field although all necessary training will be provided.

National Grid Electricity Distribution is committed to safeguarding the interests of the Company, colleagues and customers. This role is subject to a satisfactory Barring Service, (DBS) check, depending on the role different levels of screening and vetting are required. Some roles require a triannual check.
