About Centrica

Centrica is a UK energy and services group that includes the British Gas brand. Its UK graduate roles cover field services, customer operations, engineering on energy assets such as gas storage and production, and net zero projects such as solar, battery and hydrogen.

A Centrica graduate listing describes the company as a group of brands "revolutionising a cleaner, greener future". Its business management scheme says it wants to "ignite a spark in our leaders of the future" and focuses on customer experience and sustainability.

The business management scheme lists core sites in Windsor, Stockport, Leeds, Leicester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Uddingston (Glasgow). The electrical engineering scheme lists Windsor, Hessle and Aberdeen, plus offshore roles. You need to be willing to relocate.

Centrica describes itself as Flexible-First, with buddies, mentors and line managers for support, 13 colleague networks, and benefits such as energy bill discounts and a profit-share scheme. These are the company's own claims.

Two graduate schemes were found, both dated. The business management scheme has three nine-month placements (27 months), asks for a 2:1 (or a 2:2 with a Masters) and the right to work in the UK, with a start in September 2025 and a deadline of 31 October 2024. The electrical engineering scheme has three 12-month placements, is accredited by the IET, offered £36,000 plus a £3,000 welcome bonus, and closed on 18 November 2024. A British Gas heating installation apprenticeship also appeared in search results, but we could not read its details.
