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 and living our commitment to positive change in communities. Here, you find purpose, passion, and potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently — we make, store, move, sell, and mend it.

About your team:

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

We’ve powered UK homes and businesses for over 200 years. Now, we’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient 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 by repairing kitchen appliances. Age, gender, background? All irrelevant! We value your drive, passion, and enthusiasm. You’re welcome as you are, regardless of where you come from, what you look like, or how you power your home.

Kitchens are central to our customers’ homes, and appliances are essential. When they break, you’ll be ready to help get things back on track — a true engineering superhero! At our training centre, you’ll learn skills, gain qualifications, and become a top-tier Kitchen Appliance Engineer. Under experienced engineers’ guidance, you’ll soon be working in homes, helping customers keep their appliances running.

This role is hands-on and focused, playing a vital role in helping families daily, ensuring their ovens bake and fridges chill. We offer a training wage starting at £25,970, rising to £37,104, with a London weighting allowance of up to £6k for those in or starting in London.

What we’re looking for:

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

We’re recruiting trainees in:

• Glasgow South & Renfrewshire
• Leeds & Harrogate
• Stockport
• Cardiff & Vale
• Wiltshire
• Reading
• Bedford & Cambridge
• Ealing & Watford
• Bromley & Dartford

Why apply?

We’re a people-focused company that supports our employees’ diverse needs. Life is more than work. Our rewards are flexible to help you and your family, physically, emotionally, and financially. Discover why we’re a great place to work and what being part of more means for you.

If you’re energetic, passionate about sustainability, and eager to grow, join a team where your voice matters, your growth is prioritized, and your ambitions are supported.

Help us, help you. Share your story during our recruitment process so we can better understand and support your journey.
