Job Description:
Join us, be part of more.
We’re more than just an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We are energisers, a team of 21,000 colleagues committed to creating a greener, fairer future by developing an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, while living our commitment to positive change in communities. Here, you can find more purpose, passion, and potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently — we make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
Over the coming years, we will add value to the Centrica portfolio by investing in areas and technologies that enable the energy transition and offer superior returns, such as zero-carbon energy generation, fast response gas engines, battery storage, and investments in new technologies like liquid air energy storage.
Our superpower is leveraging Centrica’s position as an integrated services and solutions company. By working closely with colleagues, we aim to transform the energy landscape and lead the transition to a net-zero future.
