Job Description

Apprentice Metering Engineer

Your mission is to help us mend it: 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 they’re using in pounds and pence, giving them the confidence to make informed choices and save money.

As a Metering apprentice, you'll learn far more than how to install and repair meters. You'll 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, you'll 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, you'll soon be visiting homes in your local area, helping people feel comfortable with new technology and more in control of their energy.

We're proud that our commitment to inclusion and developing future talent has been recognised through awards including:

• EDI Initiative of the Year at the 2026 Women in Utilities Awards
• Being named a Times Top 50 Employer for Gender Equality for the fifth consecutive year
• Recognition as one of The Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers

It's a role where your technical ability matters — but so does your curiosity, your people skills, and your desire to make a positive difference.

Skills You Need to Succeed

• Use your CV to tell us who you are and show us why you're a great match for this opportunity
• 4 GCSEs, ideally including Maths & English, at grade C/4 or above or a recognised equivalent
• A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points
• Availability to attend training at one of our four UK academies with accommodation and travel provided if needed
