Next steps

• We do things a little differently around here. If successful in our eligibility questions, we’ll be in touch to discuss joining us at our in‑person recruitment event, Octopalooza, where you can show us what you’ve got!
• On the day you'll be welcomed by our team. We'll check over your qualifications & ask you to complete a practical trade test to show off your skills. You'll then have a short interview with an Area Manager so we can learn more about you, your experience and your motivation. You’ll also have the chance ask any questions and learn more about life as a Smart Meter Engineer with Octopus!

Our process usually takes up to 4 weeks, but we’ll always do our best to flex around what works for you.
