Job Description

Join us, be part of more.

We’re more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We’re energisers, a team of 21,000 colleagues energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, while living our commitment to positive change in communities. Here, you can find more purpose, passion, and potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently — we make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

About your team

At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it.

We’ve been powering UK homes and businesses for over 200 years. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, moving closer to Net Zero, using tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels, and EV chargers to help customers reduce their carbon footprint.

About your role

Your mission is to help us mend it by diving into kitchen appliance repairs. Age, gender, background? All irrelevant! We value your drive, passion, and energy. We welcome everyone, regardless of where you come from or how you power your home.

Kitchens are essential in homes, and appliances are vital for daily life. When they go wrong, you’ll be there to help families get their ovens baking and fridges chilling again — a true engineering superhero! At our training centre, you’ll learn the skills and earn qualifications to become a top-tier Kitchen Appliance Engineer. Under experienced engineers, you’ll soon be in homes around your area, helping customers.

This role is hands-on and focused, playing a pivotal role in supporting families daily. We offer a training wage starting at £25,970, rising to £37,104, plus a London weighting allowance of up to £6,000 for those in or starting their day in London.

What we’re looking for

• A qualification in engineering, mechanical, or electrical subjects (desirable) and/or technical experience
• A passion for learning a trade, building a successful career, and delivering excellent customer service
• A full UK driving licence with 6 points or less
• Availability for 5 weeks of training in Wakefield, with accommodation and travel provided if needed
