Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people [https://octopus.energy/press/800-million-dollar-investment-to-accelerate-Octopus-Energy-global-clean-energy-growth/] to help us make our vision a reality.

We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to turn our vision into a reality. We’re keen for you to shine in your role so, based on your experience, you could be fitting any of our awesome low carbon tech - Electric Vehicle charge points, Air Source Heat Pumps or Solar! 

We’re recruiting across England so you’ll see lots of vacancies in lots of locations. Please only apply to the role and location that is most suitable for you. Please don’t apply to multiple locations. 

What you’ll do  

As part of the Octopus Energy Services team, we’ll ensure you have the best of everything you need to deliver the top-class service we’re aiming for. You’ll have the backing of Octopus Energy’s massive tech power - so we’ll be able to constantly evolve and shift processes to ensure we’re always delivering our best service. This should help to keep admin to a minimum, allowing you to focus on what you do best. 

Who you are  

We're looking for Electricians with a proven track record of safety and customer excellence. You’ll be representing our brands in our customers’ homes; in many cases, the first face-to-face contact a customer has with Octopus Energy - so our expectations are high.

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.
