🌍 Be part of something more

We’re so much more than an energy company. We're a family of brands, revolutionising how we power the planet.

We’re made up of eight brilliant businesses that each make their own impact across every stage of the energy chain.

We Make it. Store it. Move it. Sell it. Mend it. We do energy differently. We do it all.

That’s why we’re more – and why working here is more than a career.

🌱 Powered by Purpose

We’re all united in the same mission: Energising a greener, fairer future.

We’re not just part of the energy transition – we’re leading it. Through innovative green products, intelligent storage solutions and developing smarter ways for customers to use and save energy, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on our planet.

We’re also living our powerful commitment to create positive change in our local communities. Each year, our colleagues are given two paid volunteering days, to support causes that matter to them – and, in 2024, we donated over £1 million to local projects that they had identified.

Our Pathways are Powerful

⚡Energise your Career

Your journey is just as important as ours.

We want to invest in your future so you can help re-write ours. Over half of all our recruitment is prioritised internally – so when we say we’re big on opportunities. We mean it.

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. 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.

We offer a wide range of career pathways designed to support people at every stage of their journey. From early careers and graduate programmes to armed forces and athletes pathways, apprenticeships and experienced roles - careers at Centrica are built around learning, development and long-term progression.

Flexible working at Centrica

1️⃣ Flexible First

Whether you’re working from one of our sites, your kitchen table, your garden shed, or directly in our customers’ homes – it’s all the same to us. We want to work in a way that's best for you - and our customers. That's why we’re really proud to have made a long-term commitment to a ‘FlexFirst’ way of working.

This means we don’t ask our colleagues to work a fixed number of days in the office. We simply ask that you work with your manager and team to find the right balance to deliver for our customers, stay connected to the business and look after your wellbeing.


Inclusion & Belonging at Centrica

❤️ We're a People Place

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too. 

We’re looking for people to add to this culture, not fit in with it. 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.

From parenthood to pride, our networks help our people find their community within Centrica. They challenge us to think and act differently and open opportunities for learning and allyship across the business.

Purpose

Centrica is the largest enterprise I've been part of in my career, but despite it's size you still feel a genuine part of the mission and team. There's a clear sense of wanting to do the right thing within the team, which is enabled within the vertical I sit within from C-Suite down, who are transparent and open to being challenged. It's a vast and critical sector to work within, which makes it genuinely exciting and interesting every day.
