Job Description
Join us, be part of more.
We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
About your team:
At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it.
We’re the household heroes powering 1 in 3 homes in the UK – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK’s homes greener and more energy efficient, together with our friends at Hive. By using their clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier to reduce your home’s carbon-footprint. And with our Peak Save programme, we’re actively rewarding better energy use too.
About your role:
We’re looking for people that are ready to dive headfirst into the world of Gas Engineering. Age? Gender? Background? Just numbers and stories that make you, you. We’re here for your drive, your passion, and that fire in your eyes.
At our award-winning academies, you’ll absorb the wisdom, grasp the skills, and earn the qualifications to emerge as a top-tier Gas Engineer – a true household hero. Under the wing of our experienced engineers, you’ll soon learn how to deliver energy efficient solutions to our customers through servicing, maintaining, repairing, OR upgrading central heating systems.
Don’t be fooled, this isn’t your average gig; it’s a hands-dirty, skills-up, heads-down 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.
We'll reward you well: You'll start on a competitive £17,850, rising to £43,733 once you are fully qualified & consistently performing at the same level as our competent & experienced Gas Service & Repair Engineers (plus London weighting where applicable of up to £6K).
Here's what we’re looking for:
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 our UK-wide academies, with provided accommodation and travel if needed
We're currently looking for apprentices in South East England
Why should you apply?
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.
