Plug yourself in to something more

Ensuring the future of our planet is kind of a big deal. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. Our work is so much more than just a job – it’s a mission. We’re not just part of the energy transition, we’re leading it. We are proud to be Centrica – a family of 21,000 energisers working across 8 uniquely brilliant brands.

No one does energy like us. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.

You’ll be working for British Gas, our flagship consumer brand that’s been keeping Britain’s homes warm for over 200 years. Today, we’re so much more than just gas. We’re the household heroes on a mission to get the nations homes to Net Zero by 2050. That means we’re working with customers to introduce them to something more. Whether it’s through our innovative smart energy tariffs, green heating systems, electric vehicle chargers or smart meters. It’s not just about saving the planet, it’s about saving customer’s pennies too. Are you in?

You don’t need any experience – this is your chance to become something more!
We’re looking for people that are ready to dive headfirst into the world of Smart Metering. Age? Gender? Background? All absolutely irrelevant! We’re here for your drive, your passion, and that fire in your eyes. You are welcome for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like or how you power your home.

Don’t be fooled, this is quite a hands-dirty, heads-down type of role. But it is one like no other, where you’ll play a pivotal role in providing energy-efficient solutions that directly impact the lives of families every single day, ensuring their homes are warm and their kettles boiled.

Your mission is to help us mend it.

SMART meters are the in-house tech that unlock the magic to a greener future. Sending data in real time, they show our customers exactly how much energy they’re using in pounds and pence – helping them to see where they can make savings. As an apprentice, you’ll grasp the skills not just to install and repair them – but to make sure our customers are getting the best out of them too.

At our award-winning academies, you’ll absorb the wisdom, grasp the skills, and earn the qualifications to emerge as a top-tier Smart Metering Engineer. Under the wing of our experienced engineers, you’ll soon be in homes around your area, showing customers how they can save and be more energy efficient.

Skills you need to succeed:

• 4 GCSEs, ideally including Maths & English, at grade C/4 or above or a recognised equivalent

• A genuine passion for learning a trade, striving for a successful career & providing awesome customer service

• A full UK driving licence with 6 points or less 

• Availability to attend training at one of our four UK academies – with accommodation and travel provided if needed.

Here’s what's in it for you: 

• Starting salary of £15,435 rising to £23,877 at week 52 of your apprenticeship, there will be further increases to your salary during this time which will be confirmed later in our process.

• Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support your salary will increase to £37,104 with bonus and add ons on top.

• We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4000 to £6000 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.

• An expensed electric van for you to use for work, including an EV charge point where applicable & charge card.

As an Energiser, you get a bumper reward package bursting with benefits including huge discounts on your energy bills and our British Gas & Hive products. Plus, you can choose from loads of extras to add in if you wish. Our rewards are designed to give you the choice of benefits that support both you and your loved ones, making sure that you’re covered no matter what life throws your way.

Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, each year we give every colleague a chunk of free Centrica shares, as part of our group-wide profit share scheme.
