We develop, own and maintain the physical infrastructure, such as pylons and cables needed to move the electricity generated from windfarms and power sources around the country. Every time a phone is plugged in, or a switch is turned on, we’ve played a part, connecting you to the electricity you need - and we’re leading the transformation towards a greener future, dreaming bigger to bring a more affordable energy future to everyone.


About The Role

Infrastructure Delivery at National Grid is responsible for executing major projects that strengthen and expand the UK’s energy network. This includes delivering critical infrastructure—such as substations and transmission lines—that ensures the safe, efficient, and reliable distribution of electricity and gas across the country.

You’ll support initiatives like the Great Grid Upgrade, which is central to National Grid’s mission to connect more clean, low‑carbon power to homes and businesses across England and Wales.

  • Developing digital tools and platforms to improve project management, reporting, and data visualisation.
  • Automating workflows to reduce manual tasks and enhance productivity.
  • Collaborating with cross‑functional teams to understand data requirements and deliver tailored solutions.
  • Creating dashboards and performance metrics to provide real‑time insights into project progress, costs, and resource utilisation.
  • Identifying opportunities to apply new technologies and methodologies to improve project outcomes.
  • Ensuring data integrity and compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
  • Supporting a data‑driven culture across Infrastructure Delivery by promoting best practices in digital innovation.

You’ll also gain important insights in engineering and electricity to broaden your understanding of our business and industry. You will complete three 6‑month placements across the UK, designed to deepen your understanding of your speciality and broaden your knowledge of our business. At the end of your 18‑month programme you’ll return to your initial placement area to kickstart your superpowered career.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
