While delivering for Britain today, we're also preparing for tomorrow. Through innovation, investment and the development of future energy infrastructure, we're helping to create a cleaner and more sustainable energy system for generations to come.
As a graduate, you'll be given meaningful responsibility from the start, supported to develop professionally, and empowered to contribute to projects that have a real impact on the nation's energy future. Whether you're solving complex challenges, driving innovation or delivering essential services, you'll play an important role in an organisation with genuine purpose.

You may have an idea of what area of finance you’d like to specialise in, or you may not. Either way, our graduate programme will help you achieve your potential. You’ll also work towards a recognised accounting qualification: you can choose to study either CIMA or ACCA, with study support.
Through working in Finance, you will have great oversight of an interesting regulated and growing business. We’re looking for someone who wants to build their career with us and grasp new opportunities – helping us to transition Britain to clean energy.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
You’ll need to be a good communicator and be able to engage with people at every level. An interest in Finance and strong numerical ability is a must, but even more important is your personability, passion and drive to succeed.
What you'll need
We're looking for individuals who are on track to achieve, or have achieved, a 2:1 degree or above in any discipline.
Possessing a strong numerical and analytical ability, outstanding communication skills, and a team-oriented mindset are important, but it’s your personality, passion for finance, and ambition to develop and succeed that will set you apart.
A good application will include a cover letter to help us to understand why you're a great fit for the role. Be sure to include any other relevant experience or university modules.
Studies suggest that women tend to apply only if they meet 100% of the criteria. If you resonate with our mission, the role excites you and your skills align, we encourage you to apply.

Following a successful online application, you'll be invited to complete an online assessment. Candidates who progress to the next stage will then complete a numeracy test, before being invited to a virtual solo interview. The final stage is an in-person Assessment Centre at our Warwick Head Office on Tuesday 15th December 2026, so you must be available on this date. Support is available towards travel costs if required.
Applications close on Sunday 1st November 2026. Each year, we receive a large volume of applications, so we'd encourage you to apply early.
At National Gas we value everyone's unique contributions and perspectives. If you require reasonable adjustments to complete the application process, please contact us at earlycareers@nationalgas.com
