Job description

We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We’re energisers, energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels while igniting positive change in our communities. Here you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential – that’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer.

About your team

At British Gas, our mission is to sell, store, move, and mend energy. We’ve powered the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years, and now we’re making the nation greener and more energy‑efficient by using smart technology such as thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels, and EV chargers.

About your role

We’re looking for skilled Electricians to join our Field Engineering team. You will ensure customers receive safe, high‑quality electrical work exactly when they need it, delivering same‑day fixes and maintaining high standards of electrical safety in homes.

Salary & Rewards

Base salary: £43,045

You’ll combine strong technical capability with excellent customer service, diagnosing issues efficiently, achieving first‑time fixes, and providing professional advice to customers where appropriate.
