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’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.

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 carefully considered CV that shows you have a genuine passion for learning a trade, able to demonstrate that you are mechanically or technically minded, & love 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 are currently seeking talented individuals in the following areas:

• Northern England - Cheadle & Stockport

• The Midlands - Derby & Nth Derby

• Eastern England - Cambridge E & W

• Greater London - Croydon & Sutton, Esher, Feltham & Hounslow, Greenwich & Lewisham, Norbury, Uxbridge, & Wembley

• Southeast England - Ashford & Dover, Biggleswade & Stevenage, Crawley & Reigate, Leighton, Ampthill, Luton & St Albans, Medway & Sittingbourne, Oxford, Reading, & Slough/Windsor

• Southwest England - Bristol Sth, Somerset Nth, E & W

Here’s what's in it for you:

• Starting salary of £17,850 rising to £25,485 at week 52, & £32886 (typically) at week 104 of your apprenticeship.

• Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support your salary will increase to £43,733 with bonus and add ons on top.

• We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4000 to £6000 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.

• An expensed electric van for you to use for work, including an EV charge point where applicable & charge card.

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.

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.
