Overview
Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution and need your help to turn our vision into a reality.
We're looking for smart meter engineers with a track record of safety and customer excellence. You’ll be representing our brands in our customers’ homes so you’ll need to be just as happy talking to the customer and getting to know them as you are about doing the installation itself.
You’ll be fitting meters; showing customers how their meter and in-home display work; how it can help them save energy and answering any questions about the green energy revolution we are leading.
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 be supported by an office team who will share the same performance goals, so we’re always working as one team. You’ll also have the backing of Octopus Energy’s massive tech power - so we’ll be able to constantly evolve and shift processes to ensure less time spent on admin and more time spent on delivering our best service.

Call-out and Overtime
* You will be on a rotating call-out schedule once every five weeks (Monday to Sunday), for which you will receive a £250 retainer. If called out, you’ll be paid from door to door
Next steps
* We do things a little differently around here. If successful in our eligibility questions, we’ll be in touch to discuss joining us at our in-person recruitment event, Octopalooza, where you can show us what you’ve got!
* On the day you'll be welcomed by our team. We'll check over your qualifications & ask you to complete a practical trade test to show off your skills. You’ll then have a short interview with an Area Manager to learn more about you, your experience and your motivation. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and learn more about life as a Smart Meter Engineer with Octopus.
Our process usually takes up to 4 weeks, but we’ll always do our best to flex around what works for you. Along the way, you’ll chat with our recruitment team and your Recruiter will help you throughout different stages. Got any burning questions before then?
