About your team: At British Gas, our mission is to sell and mend. We’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years and are making the UK greener and more energy‑efficient, getting closer to Net Zero.

This isn’t just another job – it’s a practical, hands‑on role where you’ll build skills for life. You’ll play a vital part in ensuring homes stay warm, comfortable, and safe.
