What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

When answering the "think of a time when you demonstrated good teamwork/ leadership skills/ overcame problems in a project" etc. questions in the application process, keep a file on how you answered those questions, the stories and examples you used, and what other questions that same story could answer. Try and have at least a few examples for every question you've seen in any application you've done, for any company in any industry, as these examples are what you are questioned on in the assessment centre for National Grid. All these companies are looking for similar traits (teamwork, leaderhsip, innovative thinking etc.) so its good to have some good concrete examples for all of these that you can go to in an interview situation.

Do you have any interview tips?

Don't panic if you don't know the answer and don't be afraid to ask for a bit of time to think.
The assessment centre consists of 3 exercises, only one of which is an interview, so be prepared for something you may not have faced before.
Finally, National Grid aren't looking for someone who takes control and dominates other people. The biggest trait they are looking for is teamwork and good people skills. So make sure you remember that at the assessment centre.
