About The Position

National Grid’s Gridtern Program gives currently enrolled college students practical experience in the energy industry. This posting is for consideration for one or more engineering-related department placements for summer 2027. Intern responsibilities vary by area of interest and placement. Gridterns work full time with a specific team for the duration of the internship and participate in training and development activities. Available placements are in Long Island, New York, with teams based in Melville, Brightwaters, Hicksville, and Bellmore. Teams work on gas and electric infrastructure, asset management, system planning, engineering design, construction, contractor oversight, and distributed energy resources. Depending on placement, the intern may analyze asset or project data, support engineering studies and design activities, maintain records and databases, help develop plans and reports, use GIS or network-modeling tools, assist with project coordination, and take part in field visits or construction-related activities. The program begins Monday, May 24, 2027. Applicants must be able to work 40 hours per week for the duration of the summer and continue their full-time education through the Fall 2027 semester. The position pays an hourly wage based on major, degree type, and class year. National Grid does not provide visa sponsorship, relocation, housing assistance, or public transportation reimbursement.
