We’re so much 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 igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently—we do it all: we make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
About Your Team
We’re the pride of Ireland. Bord Gáis Energy have been powering the nation’s homes and businesses for almost 40 years. But now, we’re so much more than just gas and electric.
Through our unique combination of household heroes and energy assets, we’re at the heart of the energy transition in Ireland, strengthening the country’s energy security and helping customers prepare for a net zero future.
Centrica Technology is driving our strategy globally. You’ll join a team modernising our platforms, strengthening cyber and operational resilience, and advancing a product-led way of working that combines engineers, data specialists, and business experts to deliver meaningful outcomes at pace.
We’re scaling automation and AI from proof-of-concept to real, end-to-end transformation—improving customer journeys, reducing cost-to-serve, accelerating delivery, and building digital foundations for aspects like energy trading, risk, field operations, and critical infrastructure.
If you want to work on complex, high-impact problems using modern engineering practices and help build reusable platforms shaping Centrica’s operations over the next decade, here’s your chance.

- Next-gen energy platforms, Salesforce, and Dynamics 365 enhancements.
- Building smart, scalable solutions that elevate customer experience, boost performance, and simplify our tech estate.
- Designing decisions that align with business goals, with a commercially astute mindset.
- Cultivating architectural excellence and coaching peers to deliver tangible outcomes.
