Here at National Gas, we are at the forefront of the UK's move towards sustainable energy and achieving our Net Zero goals by 2050.

What you’ll be doing

Are you ready to kick-start your career with hands-on experience and top-notch training? As a Construction Site Supervisor apprentice, you won’t be sat behind a screen; you'll split your time between learning out on site, working alongside experts solving real-world problems, and attending dedicated training and college days. Whilst attending in-person sessions to study for essential qualifications, travel will become an exciting part of your day-to-day life on the job. 

You’ll be joining our Capital Projects construction team, where you’ll work alongside a skilled team, responsible for a variety of work across nearly all aspects of National Gas’ infrastructure.
