What is a Data Engineer at National Grid?
As a Data Engineer at National Grid, you are at the heart of the global energy transition. You aren't just managing databases; you are building the digital infrastructure that enables a cleaner, smarter, and more reliable energy grid. Your work directly impacts how millions of customers receive electricity and gas, ensuring that data flows as reliably as the energy itself to drive critical decision-making across the enterprise.
You will be responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining high-scale data pipelines that integrate complex datasets from across the National Grid ecosystem. This includes everything from real-time grid sensor data to customer billing systems. By providing clean, accessible, and structured data, you empower data scientists and business analysts to optimize energy distribution, predict infrastructure failures before they happen, and accelerate the journey toward Net Zero carbon emissions.
This role is technically demanding and strategically vital. You will work within a sophisticated data environment, often leveraging Cloud technologies and Big Data frameworks to solve problems at a scale few other industries can match. Whether you are working in Waltham, Brooklyn, or as part of a distributed team, your contributions will be a cornerstone of the company’s digital transformation.
