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.

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’re the household heroes powering 1 in 3 homes in the UK – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK’s homes greener and more energy efficient, together with our friends at Hive. By using their clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier to reduce your home’s carbon-footprint. And with our Peak Save programme, we’re actively rewarding better energy use too.

An opportunity to play your part – At British Gas, our Service Delivery Team is on a mission to create a Greener, Fairer Future by ensuring stability across our technology services for both our colleagues and customers. We believe in the power of our team and prioritize building meaningful relationships with stakeholders, all rooted in a culture of Honesty, Integrity, and Inclusion. We are dedicated to maintaining strong governance and controls that place our customers and colleagues at the very heart of everything we do. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and infrastructure, we foster a mindset of continuous improvement and proactively tackle challenges, delivering lasting solutions while optimizing costs.
