We’re keen for you to shine in your role so, based on your experience, you could be fitting any of our awesome low carbon tech - Electric Vehicle charge points, Air Source Heat Pumps or Solar!

We’re recruiting across England so you’ll see lots of vacancies in lots of locations. Please only apply to the role and location that is most suitable for you. Please don’t apply to multiple locations.

This should help to keep admin to a minimum, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

Who you are

We're looking for Electricians with a proven track record of safety and customer excellence. You’ll be representing our brands in our customers’ homes; in many cases, the first face-to-face contact a customer has with Octopus Energy - so our expectations are high.

You must:

• have a full UK driving license with no more than 6 points
• have a level 3 NVQ or equivalent, 18th Edition, Part P/ installation qualification and Inspection & Testing qualifications

Other qualities we’d love to see include:

• A flexible working approach
• Customer service experience
• It would also be pretty awesome if you have EV or solar qualifications!

Join us in the Octoverse!

• £38,500 basic salary with overtime available (+ London weighting if living within M25)
• £2,500 annual performance bonus
• Share options in Octopus Energy Group
• £25 per week lunch allowance
• Training programme at our groundbreaking R&D centre
• Use of company tools
• Uniform and all PPE
• Company Vehicle and fuel
• Support for personal development in Renewable Tech

The next steps

We do things a little differently around here. If successful in your eligibility questions, we’ll invite you to complete our online blended assessment. This is made up of multiple-choice questions and three short video interview questions. You’ll be scored fairly by a real person and if you stand out to us, we’ll invite you to an in person recruitment event where you can show us what you’ve got.

If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.

Are you ready for a career with us? We want to ensure you have all the tools and environment you need to unleash your potential.

Need any specific accommodations? Whether you require specific accommodations or have a unique preference, let us know, and we'll do what we can to customise your interview process for comfort and maximum magic!

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success.
