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’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer.

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: We wrote this advert with one clear goal: to inspire more women to roll up their sleeves and explore a career in engineering. We’re on a mission to get all our customers to net zero by 2050, and we know that some feel more comfortable with a female engineer in their home. That’s where you come in. Not your typical engineer? Perfect. We’re not your typical energy company - and this isn’t your typical job.

As an apprentice, you’ll learn hands-on skills as part of one of our expert engineering teams. Your journey could take you into Gas Service & Repair, Heating Installation, Metering, or Electrical work. With a variety of entry routes opening in 2026, there’s never been a better time to start! If you’re curious, determined, and ready to make a real difference, we’d love to welcome you to the team. Your future starts here. Are you in?

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 4 GCSEs (or Scottish Nat 5's) at grade C / 4 or above, ideally including Maths and English, or equivalent qualification.
• A CV that shows your passion for learning a trade, a technical or mechanical mindset, and a commitment to delivering great customer service.
• A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points.
• Availability to attend training at our UK-wide academies, with provided accommodation and travel if needed.

Here’s 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!).
• We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4,160 to £6,240 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.

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’s 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’re full of energy, fired up about sustainability, and ready to craft not only a better tomorrow, but a better you, then come and find your purpose in a team where your voice matters, your growth is non-negotiable, and your ambitions are our priority.
