Electrician

Skilled Electrician – British Gas (Field Engineering Team)

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 creating a greener, fairer future by building an energy system free from fossil fuels while driving positive change in our communities.

Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer.


About the Company

We do energy differently – we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

At British Gas, our mission is to sell and mend energy thoughtfully – we’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years. Beyond supplying energy, we’re:

  • Making the UK greener and more energy-efficient
  • Helping customers reduce carbon footprints through clever technologies like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels, and EV chargers

About the Role

We’re looking for skilled Electricians to join our experienced Field Engineering team, delivering safe, high-quality electrical work to customers at the times they need it most.

Becoming our customer’s first port of call when faults happen is our priority. In this role, you’ll:

  • Provide same-day fixes
  • Uphold the highest standards of electrical safety
  • Combine expert technical capability with exceptional customer service

What You’ll Be Doing

As an Electrician, your core responsibilities include:

  • Fault-finding and repairs
  • Electrical installations and upgrades
  • Full and partial rewires
  • Ensuring all work is completed safely, compliant with regulations, and right-first-time

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
