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:

Your mission is to help us mend it by diving headfirst into the world of Gas Installations. 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 Installations 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 installing or upgrading central heating systems.

Don’t be fooled, this isn’t your average gig; it’s a hands-dirty, 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 hot water is flowing!

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 license with 6 points or less

Availability to attend training at our UK-wide academies, with provided accommodation and travel if needed.

Must be able to fulfil the physical requirements of the role, i.e. able to bend, stretch, kneel and crouch, as well as be comfortable working at height and in confined spaces – you’ll also be expected to carry heavy items such as radiators, boilers and other work related equipment.

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 £42,350 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.
