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 that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
About your team:
At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it.
We’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.
About your role:
We’ve written this advert with one thing in mind - to inspire more females to roll up their sleeves and try their hand at an engineering apprenticeship!
We won’t rest until we’ve got all our customers to net zero by 2050 – and we know that some of them feel more comfortable with a female working in their home. That’s where you come in. Not your typical engineer? Good. We’re not your typical energy company and this isn’t your typical job.
As an apprentice, you’ll grasp the skills needed by being a part of one of our engineering teams. This could be Gas Service & Repair, Heating Installation, or Smart Metering (for the latter, we are recruiting in most areas). We have a variety of entry routes available in 2025 & are excited to welcome new colleagues to our teams.
Still not convinced? Watch Elisha, Faye, Jess, and Katie's stories.
Here's what we’re looking for:
4 GCSEs, ideally including Maths & English, at grade C/4 or above or a recognised equivalent
A genuine passion for learning a trade, striving for a successful career & providing awesome customer service
A full UK driving license with 6 points or less
Availability to attend training at our UK-wide academies, with provided accommodation and travel if needed.
Here’s what's in it for you:
Our apprentice starting salaries range from £15,435 to £17,850, and continue to rise as you hit specific milestones during your apprenticeship.
Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support, your salary will align to that of a fully skilled engineer or electrician (length of time depends on the specific apprenticeship, some take longer than others!)
We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4000 to £6000 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.
Submit your interest in our technical apprenticeships. Please note this is not a job application, but an opportunity to register your interest.
As part of the process, you’ll complete an online mechanical reasoning test—only candidates who pass will progress.
If you pass, we’ll contact you about opportunities in your area.
We’re hiring apprentices in Heating Installation and Smart Metering—plus roles like Service & Repair and Electricians are coming in 2026! Apply for those separately or when they launch.
Why should you apply?
We’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all our people’s realities. Life is about more than work. That’s why our total rewards offer flexibility to support you physically, emotionally, and financially. Discover why we’re a great place to work and what being part of more means for you.
If you're full of energy, passionate about sustainability, and ready to craft a better tomorrow and a better you, join us where your voice matters, your growth is a priority, and your ambitions are supported.
Help us, help you. Share any information about yourself throughout our recruitment process so we can better understand and support your journey.
