Apprentice Gas Service & Repair Engineer in Maidenhead, United Kingdom

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. One team of 21,000 colleagues is energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels while 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.

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 footprints.

We’re looking for people who are ready to dive headfirst into the world of Gas Engineering. At our award‑winning academies, you’ll gain the knowledge, hands‑on skills, and recognised qualifications to become a first‑class Gas Engineer – the go‑to expert who keeps homes warm and safe. From day one, you’ll learn alongside experienced engineers, mastering everything from servicing and maintaining to repairing and upgrading central heating systems. You’ll be at the heart of delivering energy‑efficient solutions that make a real difference to families every day. This is a practical, hands‑on role where you’ll build skills for life. It’s challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. You’ll play a vital part in ensuring homes stay warm and comfortable, and kettles keep boiling.

Qualifications:

• 4 GCSEs (or Scottish Highers) 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.
