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. 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 :

We’ve written this advert with one thing in mind - to inspire more females to roll up their sleeves and try their hand at an engineering apprenticeship!

We won’t rest until we’ve got all our customers to net zero by 2050 – and we know that some of them feel more comfortable with a female working in their home. That’s where you come in. Not your typical engineer? Good. We’re not your typical energy company and this isn’t your typical job.

As an apprentice, you’ll grasp the skills needed by being a part of one of our engineering teams. This could be Gas Service & Repair, Heating Installation, or Smart Metering (for the latter, we are recruiting in most areas). We have a variety of entry routes available in 2025 & are excited to welcome new colleagues to our teams.

Still not convinced? Watch Elisha , Faye , Jess , and Katie's stories .

Here's what we’re looking for :

4 GCSEs, ideally including Maths & English, at grade C / 4 or above or a recognised equivalent

A genuine passion for learning a trade, striving for a successful career & providing awesome customer service

A full UK driving license with 6 points or less

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 apprentice starting salaries range from £15,435 to £17,850, and continue to rise as you hit specific milestones during your apprenticeship.

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 £4000 to £6000 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.

Important information :

Submit your application to express interest in our technical apprenticeships. Please note this is not a job application, but an opportunity to register your interest.

As part of the application process, you’ll be required to complete an online mechanical reasoning test—only candidates who pass will progress to the next stage.

If you pass your test, we’ll contact you to let you know if there are opportunities available in your area.

We’re now hiring apprentices in Heating Installation and Smart Metering—plus, exciting roles like Service & Repair and Electricians are coming in 2026! Keep an eye out and apply for those separately now, or when they launch.

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. Visit the link below to discover why we’re a great place to work and what being part of more means for you.

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.

Help us, help you. We would love for you to share any information about yourself throughout our recruitment process so that we can better understand you and help shape your journey.
