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:

You’ll be working centrally within our mission control room, aka Centrica’s group functions. From Finance and Data Science, to our Wellbeing and People teams - this is the engine of our energy system, where our various Centres of Excellence power up each of our brilliant businesses, ensuring they have all the support, technologies, and capabilities they need to get our customers to Net Zero by 2050.

Ready to get more from your summer?

This is your chance to add the worlds’ leading integrated energy company to your CV. What are you waiting for? Ignite your future, kick-start your career and get paid whilst you get real experience, in real projects.

Electrical Engineering

As the UK’s largest integrated energy company, when we say we can give you an experience like no other, we really mean it! Our diverse portfolio of assets will expose you to a unique and wide-ranging set of activities and opportunities – making this the perfect place to launch your career in engineering.

Engineers are at the heart of developing, operating, upgrading and/or decommissioning all of Centrica’s energy asset portfolio. This portfolio includes the largest gas store in the UK, offshore and onshore gas production assets and Net Zero projects including solar, battery and hydrogen technologies.

Our summer placement programme will immerse you in the engineering behind these assets, supporting dynamic teams and taking on real engineering challenges.

No practical electrical engineering experience? No problem. With a positive and proactive attitude, on this programme you will gain first-hand experience of an industrial environment, helping you develop into a successful engineer of the future.

Centrica’s assets are based across the UK, with hubs in Windsor, Hessle (East Yorkshire) and Brigg (North Lincolnshire). Our nine-week summer placement will have elements of in-person activity at Windsor and at operational sites, and the extent of travel and in-person activity varies depending on the exciting projects our interns get involved in!

What we need from you:

• Expecting a 1st degree in a suitable electrical (or closely related) engineering discipline, accredited by the relevant engineering institution (or a 2:1 with Masters)

• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook

• Have the right to work in the UK

• Available to start the programme from 17th June – Friday 15th August 2025

We’re a people place

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels they can belong – and we’re looking for people to add to this 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 are welcome here for who you are, no matter how you see the world, how you express yourself or the journey you’ve been on to get here. It’s our differences that will give us the power to revolutionise the future of our planet.

With 13 different colleague networks, there’s space to find your community, beyond the graduate sphere.

Here’s what's in it for you:

You’ll be paid a salary of £24,000 (pro rata) and accommodation will be provided for the duration of your placement, if required.

Are you ready?

If you're full of energy, fired up about sustainability, and ready to craft not only a better tomorrow, but a better you, then come and find your purpose in a team where your voice matters, your growth is non-negotiable, and your ambitions are our priority.
