About Us

Join us, and drive National Grid’s digital transformation. We’re creators, continuous learners and daring innovators, and we need Software Engineers to make digital change happen.

At National Grid, we keep the lights on and homes warm. But it’s so much more than that. We keep people connected and society moving. This is no easy feat, and it takes all of us. But National Grid supplies us with the environment to make it happen. And as we generate momentum in the energy transition for all, we don’t plan on leaving any of our customers in the dark.

To do this, we’re powered by our culture of innovation and our growth mindset. We pioneer digital ways to create products, and catalyse the transformation of National Grid's business units into more agile and digitally native organisations.

We’re working at the heart of the energy transformation, so you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in the UK — but you’ll be shaping a clean, fair and affordable energy future, for all.
