Join us, be part of more.
We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful 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:
At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it.
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
- EV chargers
We’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
About your role:
We’re looking for skilled Electricians to join our experienced Field Engineering team, helping ensure customers receive safe, high-quality electrical work exactly when they need it. Being there for our customers is our priority, and you’ll play a key role in delivering same-day fixes and high standards of electrical safety in customers’ homes.
