Centrica
We're building a team to power the planet of the future ⚡🚀
We’re more than just an energy company. We’re a family of brands, on a mission to revolutionise how we power the planet. We heat homes, light up careers, and ignite communities. We're woven into the fabric of everyday life. When it comes to energy, we do it all. We make it, move it, mend it, supply it and store it. When you choose Centrica, you're choosing more than a career.
Why 'More Than A Career'?
You'll make an impact that will truly change tomorrow. We have purpose. For both customers and communities, everything we do is striving to make people's lives more sustainable, simple and affordable. Whether you’re developing and delivering cutting-edge technology, helping customers on the front line, or simplifying operations behind the scenes. We all play a vital role in our vision for a cleaner, greener future. For our planet. For everyone.
You'll Ignite your potential. We invest in our people, empowering them to take charge of their careers and level up until their best is better. Here, personal and professional development go hand-in-hand. When you’re ready to grow, we’re here for you. With bespoke learning and development programmes so you can take ownership of your career progression in a way that suits you.
We're a people place. We care, we collaborate and we celebrate. We're 1 of only 7 employers to be accredited as Carer Confident Ambassadors and consistently hit The Times' Top 50 Employer list for Gender Equality. Diversity is the fuel to our flame — it's what sparks our innovation, fosters resilience, and makes us a genuinely great place to work. We're looking for people to add to our culture - not fit in with it. We know that every voice matters, and every new perspective makes us more empathetic and reflective of the 10 million customers we serve.
You'll be empowered by perks. We offer more than just a salary. If we do well, so do you. We give all colleagues a slice of our annual profits as company shares. Performance is matched with reward. From a great pension, to healthcare and energy discounts, we make work, worth it with access to a host of additional benefits like retail vouchers, gym passes, additional holidays and an electric car scheme.

Career Pathways at Centrica
Centrica offers a wide range of career pathways designed to support people at every stage of their journey. From early careers and graduate programmes to apprenticeships and experienced roles, careers at Centrica are built around learning, development and long-term progression.
Armed Forces: We recognise the value that service leavers, veterans, reservists and military spouses bring to the workplace. As we transition towards Net Zero, there are opportunities across the business for people from the Armed Forces community, supported by tailored guidance and a network of colleagues with shared experience.
Apprenticeships: Our Apprenticeships are a great way to shape your future while helping us build a more sustainable planet. Open to people of all ages, genders and backgrounds, our apprenticeship programmes offer an inclusive route into meaningful careers. We’re particularly keen to welcome more women into engineering through apprenticeships, helping to change the face of the profession.
Graduate Schemes: You can choose a Graduate Scheme across a variety of pathways including business management, engineering, finance, marketing and other specialist functions. Through tailored rotations, hands-on projects and mentorship, you’ll gain exposure to different parts of the business and build a broad foundation for long-term career growth.
Internships: We offer summer internships that give undergraduates the opportunity to contribute to real work and develop practical skills in a professional environment. You’ll be involved in live projects, build experience that supports your studies and receive guidance from experienced teams as you gain insight into working life at Centrica.
Approach to inclusion
Belonging and inclusion are central to life at Centrica. We support a culture where people feel valued for who they are, can bring their whole selves to work and are encouraged to grow both personally and professionally. To help make this a reality, Centrica has established a number of employee networks and communities that create connection, support and shared purpose across the business.
These groups help create spaces where people can be heard, learn from one another, and shape a more inclusive workplace:
- Centrica Women’s Network: Supporting gender equality, career development and leadership opportunities for women.
- + Network: Connecting LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies to build visibility, understanding and inclusive action.
- Diverse-ability Network: Focusing on disability, neurodiversity and accessibility to help everyone thrive.

- Working Parents: This group helps parents manage a better work-life balance.
- Fertility: Helps employees with support and resources to start a family.
Flexible working at Centrica
Centrica supports flexible ways of working that recognise different roles, locations and life stages. Whether your role is site-based, customer-facing, remote or a mix of all three, flexibility is built into how work gets done.
Through our FlexFirst approach, we focus on outcomes rather than fixed office days. Employees are encouraged to agree working patterns with their manager and team that support performance, collaboration and wellbeing, helping people stay connected while balancing work with life outside of work.
