Apprentice Heating Installation Engineer

at  Centrica

We are Centrica! We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising a cleaner, greener future. Working here is #MoreThanACareer - we’re powered by purpose. Together we can make an impact that will truly change tomorrow. Whether you’re developing cutting-edge green tech, helping customers on the front line or simplifying operations behind the scenes.
Your work here isn’t just a job – it’s a mission. We all play a vital role in energising a greener, fairer future.

NO EXPERIENCE? NO PROBLEM. HERE’S THE DRILL.

We’re looking for people that are ready to dive headfirst into the world of Gas Installations. Age? Gender? Background? Just numbers and stories that make you, you. We’re here for your drive, your passion, and that fire in your eyes.
At our award-winning academies, you’ll absorb the wisdom, grasp the skills, and earn the qualifications to emerge as a top-tier Installations Engineer – a true household hero. Under the wing of our experienced engineers, you’ll soon learn how to deliver energy efficient solutions to our customers through installing or upgrading central heating systems.
Don’t be fooled, this isn’t your average gig; it’s a hands-dirty, heads-down role. But it is one like no other, where you’ll play a pivotal role in providing energy-efficient solutions that directly impact the lives of families every single day, ensuring their homes are warm and their kettles boiled.

We do have some requirements:

• 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.
• Must be able to fulfil the physical requirements of the role, i.e. able to bend, stretch, kneel and crouch, as well as be comfortable working at height and in confined spaces – you’ll also be expected to carry heavy items such as radiators, boilers and other work related equipment.

WE BELIEVE THAT A BETTER YOU, PAVES THE WAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.

We’re a people place. That means we support all the different realities our people face, want evenings & weekends with your family, no problem! As an Installation Engineer, weekends are yours! Our rostered weeks are 40 hours on average, with the day generally starting somewhere between 07:00 and 08:00. You’ll operate across 8-hour days but may also do longer days during shorter weeks or longer days during periods of high seasonal demand.
We’re looking for people to add to our culture - not fit in with it. We serve over 10 million customers each year. We know that to be better for them, we need a workforce that reflects the perspectives of the communities they reside in. Our Diversity is the fuel to our flame — it’s what sparks our innovation, fosters resilience, and makes us a genuinely great place to work.
Here, knowledge really is power. We’ve launched a brand-new career development platform which means we have an industry-leading learning offering that you won’t find at any other Energy company. When it comes to our engineers, we’ve made a commitment to cross-skilling into trending green technologies such as Air Source Heat Pumps, Electric Vehicle Charge Points, Mixergy Hot Water Tank Systems, Hydrogen Boilers and HIVE applications.
