Metering Apprentice

Join us, be part of more. 

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

Your mission is to help us mend it: Smart meters are the in‑home technology opening the door to a greener, more sustainable future. By sending data in real time, they help customers see exactly how much energy they’re using – in pounds and pence – giving them the confidence to make informed choices and save money.

• 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.
