Join to apply for the Smart Metering Apprentice role at British Gas
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.
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.
About Your Role
Your mission is to help us mend it. Smart meters are the in-house tech that unlock the magic to a greener future. Sending data in real time, they show our customers exactly how much energy they’re using in pounds and pence – helping them to see where they can make savings. As an apprentice, you’ll grasp the skills not just to install and repair them – but to make sure our customers are getting the best out of them too.

* A carefully considered CV that shows you have a genuine passion for learning a trade, able to demonstrate that you are mechanically or technically minded, & love providing awesome customer service
* A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points
* Availability to attend training at one of our four UK academies – with accommodation and travel provided if needed.
Here’s what's in it for you:
* Starting salary of £16,053 rising to £19,493 at week 28, £22,932 (typically) at week 35, £25,485 at week 52, & £32,861 (typically) at week 60 of your apprenticeship
* Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support (typically at week 76) your salary will increase to £38,589 with bonus and add ons on top.
