Apprentice Heating Installation Engineer in Dunfermline

Join us, be part of more. We are so much more than an energy company. We are a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We are energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that are 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.

At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it. We have been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years - but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We are 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 are making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon footprint.

Your mission is to help us mend it by diving headfirst into the world of Gas Installations. Age? Gender? Background? Just numbers and stories that make you, you. We are here for your drive, your passion, and that fire in your eyes. At our award-winning academies, you won’t just learn a trade - you’ll master it. You’ll gain the skills, qualifications, and confidence to become a top-tier Installations Engineer, delivering energy-efficient solutions that keep homes warm and families comfortable. Under the guidance of our expert engineers, you’ll learn how to install and upgrade central heating systems - making a meaningful difference in customers’ lives every day.

This isn’t your average 9-to-5. It’s a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll get stuck in, solve real problems, and become a trusted face in the community. You’ll be part of a mission to make homes more energy-efficient, reduce carbon footprints, and ensure hot water and heating are always flowing. If you’re looking for a career with purpose, progression, and plenty of practical experience - this is it!
