Female Apprentice Engineer

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 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 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 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?

Here what's in it for you: Our apprenticeships offer starting salaries from £16,053 to £18,564, increasing as you progress, with potential to earn up to £45,483, depending on the path you choose. 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!)

If you pass your test, we’ll contact you to let you know if there are opportunities available in your area. We’re now hiring apprentices in Heating Installation and Smart Metering. Plus, exciting roles like Service & Repair and Electricians are coming in 2026! Keep an eye out and apply for those separately now, or when they launch. Why should you apply? We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.

If you immerse yourself in our fight to change tomorrow, you might just find your why. We’re looking for people to add to our culture – not fit in with it. We're building a community where you can be unapologetically you, where differences are celebrated, and where everyone can belong. Real inclusivity also means supporting the different realities our people face. That why we have the UK best Carers Policy and are continually building our approach to flexibility and wellbeing. Of course, we love having fun too. We’re a people place after all.
