We are Centrica! We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising a cleaner, greener future. Working here is #MoreThanACareer - we’re powered by purpose. Together we can make an impact that will truly change tomorrow. Whether you’re developing cutting-edge green tech, helping customers on the front line or simplifying operations behind the scenes.

Your work here isn’t just a job – it’s a mission. We all play a vital role in energising a greener, fairer future.

We’ve been keeping Britain warm for over 200 years. Today we power 1 in 3 homes in the UK – but supplying energy is just part of what we do.

We’re on a mission to make the UK’s homes greener and more energy efficient. With clever tech like Hive 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 new PeakSave programme, we’re actively rewarding better energy use too.

Our nationwide team of 6,500 engineers are energy efficiency experts – offering practical ways to make homes more sustainable. That’s why we need a brilliant District Sales Manager to join our Home Installations sales team, based in either Scotland or Northern England. You’ll bring bags of energy, know-how and passion to our family of door-opening brands, including British Gas and Hive. And you’ll join a team who are just as focused delivering on fantastic results as you are.

Our Home Installations sales team are involved with selling home solutions products such as air source heat pumps, gas boilers and Hive products to our customers. As a District Sales Manager you will lead, inspire and engage a team in delivering the highest standards of safety, quality and customer satisfaction, in order to achieve business targets including sales volume, value, cost, quality and effectiveness whilst driving a customer focused culture.

• Highly effective at coaching for performance.
• Able to manage all aspects of a ‘balanced scorecard’ of targets.

• Ability to interrogate, analyse and draw insightful conclusions from data – make appropriate
  recommendations; implement and provide results to validate those conclusions.
  

Who are we looking for?

• Proven successful track record in sales – either individually or as a sales team leader.
• Demonstrable ability to plan, prioritise time and people management skills and experience (either direct management or in an influencing role).
• Ability to employ a range of selling techniques and coach others in those techniques.
• Analytical skills.
• Influencing/negotiating skills.
• Excellent engagement and communication skills.

We are proud to be recognised as a disability-confident employer. Our customers come from a variety of different backgrounds, and so do we. We hire great people from all walks of life, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. We will continue championing inclusivity while investing in our local communities to create a better, more sustainable world for everyone. We are incredibly proud to have been recognised by The Times for being one of the Top 50 Employers for Women.

Our people are the beating heart of our business. We are incredibly proud of our commitment to being FlexFirst. From childcare to furry friends, we listened to our people and understood that they work best when they are comfortable and have a flexible working model that suits their individual needs. We embrace the opportunity to give our colleagues a choice to work from anywhere whilst still ensuring they can connect and engage with their teams through office days, employee networks and virtual events.

We have tailored our well-being & benefits package around our employees as follows;

• Competitive salary and bonus potential
• Employee Energy Allowance at 15% of the government price cap
• Pension scheme
• Company Funded Healthcare Plan
• 25 days holiday allowance, plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to 5 additional days
• Excellent range of flexible benefits, including technology vouchers, electric car lease scheme & travel insurance

We are committed to creating a cleaner and greener future. And we’re making big changes to help us get there. That means cutting customers' emissions and our own to reach net zero. And because our people are the beating heart of our business, we will continue to champion inclusivity, develop future skills and invest in our local communities to create a better world for everyone. As part of our reforestation project with WeForest, for every new employee that joins our family, we plant trees in underprivileged areas in Tanzania to offer farming and wildlife economy opportunities for locals.
