Job description

Smart meters are the in-home technology opening the door to a greener, more sustainable future. By sending data in real time, they help customers see exactly how much energy theyre using in pounds and pence giving them the confidence to make informed choices and save money.

As a Metering apprentice, youll learn far more than how to install and repair meters. Youll build the skills to explain, reassure and support customers, making sure they understand how to get the very best from their energy use.

At our award-winning academies, youll be supported every step of the way, absorbing expert knowledge, developing hands-on skills and earning recognised qualifications. Working alongside experienced engineers who are there to coach and encourage you, youll soon be visiting homes in your local area, helping people feel comfortable with new technology and more in control of their energy.
