We're looking for someone to join our diverse and growing team of 14, to help households always be on the best energy deal, hassle free.

A bit more about our mission

We're on a mission to demystify the energy market for households, making it easy to get both the cheapest and greenest energy for your home.

Switchd started out with automated energy switching, where we've got a great product, 5* customer reviews and awesome tech.

More and more households now want to make their house green and are getting frustrated with trying to work out if solar panels, a heat pump or insulation are right for them.

So, we've developed our market-first Make My House Green platform to solve that and help make houses green!

The journey has been awesome so far and what's to come is shaping up to be even better.

We're looking for someone to join the team, join the journey and share in the success as we continue to grow.
