Are these things important to you?
If you answered yes to all of the above, we would love to hear from you.
So, who are we?
We are Northern Gas Networks.
We are a team of underground and overground heroes that keep our 2,700,000 customers in the North of England 'cooking on gas'.
Our network is VAST and measures the same as travelling from our headquarters in Leeds, UK to Sydney, Australia...and then back again!
You will eventually be part of maintaining over 6000 pressure reduction installations and more than 1200km's of high pressure pipeline.
It's pretty mind-blowing, when you think about it..
However, we are not 'just pipes' either!
We care about our people, our communities and our planet.
Take our H21 project, for example. This project supports the conversion of the UK gas networks from natural gas to hydrogen. This will reduce carbon emissions in line with the UK commitment to achieve net zero by 2050... Talk about changing the future!
Or how about our recent Connecting Homes for Health project? This connected some of the most vulnerable in our society, with cold-related ill health/ respiratory conditions to the gas grid for the first time ever. Yes, ever! Because of our incredible workforce, they will now stay warm this winter (and we all know it's pretty cold up North)!
There has never been a more exciting time to apply for our Gas Engineering Apprenticeships! NGN is an amazing place to build your career, because at NGN, you can be you and #ICanBeMe.
Forget about who you imagine a Gas Engineer to be. Picture yourself instead.
You'll be great if you are:
We want you to embrace who you are and what makes you 'you'. It is our role to build on your very own natural qualities and provide you with the tools to succeed.
