We’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.

As a Heating Solutions Sales Advisor, you’ll be the face of British Gas - visiting customers’ homes via pre-qualified appointments, providing expert quotes on energy-saving solutions such as new boilers, Central heating systems, Solar panels and Air Source Heat Pumps

You won’t just be selling products - you’ll be powering the UK’s journey toward a Cleaner, Greener Future.

Diversity Matters

The energy industry has been male dominated for too long. We’re proud to be breaking the mould — and we want more women to step into this role. Recognised by The Times as a Top 50 Employer for Women, we’re committed to building a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve.

Why should you apply?

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.
