About Centrica

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 made up of eight brilliant businesses that each make their own impact across every stage of the energy chain.

We Make it. Store it. Move it. Sell it. Mend it.

We do energy differently. We do it all.

That’s why we’re more – and why working here is more than a career.

Powered by Purpose

We’re all united in the same mission: Energising a greener, fairer future.

We’re not just part of the energy transition – we’re leading it. Through innovative green products, intelligent storage solutions and developing smarter ways for customers to use and save energy, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on our planet.

We’re also living our powerful commitment to create positive change in our local communities. Each year, our colleagues are given two paid volunteering days, to support causes that matter to them – and, in 2023, we donated over £1million to local projects that they had identified.

We're a People Place

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels they can belong – and we’re looking for people to add to this culture, not fit in with it.

You are welcome here for who you are, no matter how you see the world, how you express yourself or the journey you’ve been on to get here. It’s our differences that will give us the power to revolutionise the future of our planet.

From parenthood to pride, our networks help our people find their community within Centrica. They challenge us to think and act differently and open opportunities for learning and allyship across the business.

Energise your Career

Your journey is just as important as ours.

All of our graduate schemes are built upon rotations – meaning you’ll have the opportunity to work across a range of brands and business units, guiding teams, driving change and challenging the status quo.

We want to invest in your future so you can help re-write ours. Over half of all our recruitment is prioritised internally – so when we say we’re big on opportunities. We mean it.

We offer more than just a salary. If we do well, so do you. We give all colleagues a slice of our annual profits as company shares. From a great pension, to healthcare and energy discounts, we make work, worth it with access to a host of additional benefits like retail vouchers, gym passes, additional holidays and an electric car scheme.

The great thing about my current role is that no one day looks like another. I can be creating a Net Zero Strategy for one of our clients and presenting it in a client meeting one day, or developing cost models the next, and be supporting our sales team with Net Zero proposals and financial analysis the following one.

The most important lesson I have learned since joining is that it is ok not to know everything. Coming into a company like Centrica is daunting and I was guilty when I first started of trying not to show that I didn’t understand a lot of things.

I start my day off with the very first meeting of the day, our stand up, where my team briefly shares what they did the day before or any concerns they want to raise. Then, as a programmer, problems arise at any moment of the day and the rest of the day is then dedicated to solving them and creating solutions.
