National Grid's role is to connect people to the energy they use. Society relies on having energy at its finger tips: it is built on it and National Grid owns and manages the systems to which many different energy sources are connected. In Britain we run systems that deliver gas and electricity across the entire country. In the North Eastern states of the US, we provide power directly to millions of customers. Holding a vital position at the centre of the energy system, National Grid join's everything up. The energy market will dramatically change between now and 2015 and National Grid will play a vital role in connecting new sources of energy generation. The transition to a low carbon economy is set against a background of increasing population, changing economic times and ageing power plants will be unprecedented. This presents individuals with a tremendous opportunity to work with the latest technology and ensure we have energy networks that will meet the future challenges. You can be at the heart of one of the greatest engineering challenges facing society; the creation of new sustainable energy solutions for the future.
