Trainee Kitchen Appliance 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’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 by diving headfirst into the world of kitchen appliance repairs. Age? Gender? Background? All absolutely irrelevant! We’re here for your drive, your passion, and that fire in your eyes. You are welcome for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like or how you power your home.

Kitchens are the heart of the home, and appliances are the unsung heroes of daily life. As a Trainee Kitchen Appliance Engineer, you’ll be the one customers rely on when things go wrong – swooping in to get those ovens baking and washing machines spinning again.

With support from seasoned engineers, you’ll soon be out in your local area, making a real difference in people’s homes.

This is a hands‑on, sleeves‑up kind of role – and that’s what makes it so rewarding. You’ll be solving real problems for real people, every single day. Whether it’s fixing fridges or troubleshooting cookers, you’ll be helping families get back to normal with a smile. If you’re passionate about learning a trade, building a career, and delivering top‑on customer service, this could be the perfect launchpad for you.

Here\’s what we’re looking for:

• Demonstrates technical aptitude – whether through formal qualifications, hands‑on work experience, or a personal passion for technical hobbies.
• Driven to learn a trade, build a successful career, and deliver outstanding customer service.
• A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points.
• Able to attend a 5‑week training course in Wakefield – with travel and accommodation (where required) covered to make your experience smooth and accessible.

Here’s what\’s in it for you.

• A starting salary of £27,009 which will continue to rise as you hit specific milestones during your traineeship.
• Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support your salary will increase to £38,589 with bonus and add‑ons on top.
• We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4,160 to £6,240 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.
