Asset Data Analyst

About us

At National Grid, we keep people connected and society moving. But it’s so much more than that. National Grid supplies us with the environment to make it happen. As we generate momentum in the energy transition for all, we don’t plan on leaving any of our customers in the dark. So, join us as a Asset Information Support Officer and find your superpower. 

Job Purpose

The Asset Information Support Officer (Condition Data) plays a vital role in supporting the management and assurance of information used to understand the health and performance of assets across the electricity transmission network.

You'll help maintain and assure critical datasets including condition monitoring information, oil sampling results, SF6 emissions records and inspection data. These datasets provide valuable insight into asset condition and support decisions that help keep the network safe, reliable and resilient.

This is far more than a data administration role. Your work will provide trusted information that supports engineering decision-making, environmental reporting, regulatory obligations and asset risk management. By ensuring asset condition data is accurate, complete and traceable, you'll contribute directly to the effective management of nationally important infrastructure and support our journey towards a cleaner energy future.

What you'll do

• Manage and maintain asset condition data across a range of systems, including condition monitoring outputs, oil sampling results, SF6 emissions records and inspection information.
• Carry out validation and verification checks to ensure information is accurate, complete, timely and traceable.
• Maintain clear audit trails and supporting evidence to demonstrate compliance, data integrity and governance requirements.
• Support regulatory, environmental and internal reporting through effective information management and data assurance processes.
• Apply established information governance standards, controls and procedures to ensure consistency and compliance.
• Investigate data quality issues, identify trends and support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Produce reports, dashboards and performance metrics that demonstrate data quality, completeness and process performance.
• Work collaboratively with engineers, operational teams, technical specialists, laboratories and environmental stakeholders to ensure information is managed effectively.
• Support audits, assurance reviews and information requests by providing accurate data and supporting evidence.

About you

We're looking for someone who is analytical, curious and passionate about data quality and information management.

You'll bring:

• Experience working with large and complex datasets.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify trends, anomalies and data quality issues.
• Experience using tools such as Excel, Power BI, Python or similar analytical platforms.
• Knowledge of data governance, validation, assurance and information management principles.
• Experience working within an engineering, utilities, infrastructure or other regulated environment.
• The ability to interpret technical information and translate it into meaningful data and insights.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• An understanding of how asset information supports asset performance, maintenance, risk management and investment decisions.
• We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have experience working in asset management, utilities, engineering, infrastructure or other regulated environments, where the quality and integrity of asset information is critical to operational and investment decision-making.

Desirable

• Understanding of electricity transmission assets and asset condition management.
• IAM Certificate or membership of a relevant professional body.
• Degree-level qualification in a numerate discipline or equivalent practical experience.

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £40,000 - £50,000 – dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
