Whether you’re 16, or an experienced professional seeking a mid-life change of direction, we like to think there’s an opportunity for you on one of our award-winning training and apprenticeship schemes.

What we do

We are an international energy company with the ultimate purpose to help customers live simply, sustainably and affordably. We do this through a range of trusted brands, which include household names such as British Gas, Hive and PH Jones.

British Gas is the UK’s leading energy supply and in-home servicing provider, having looked after the homes of Britain for over 200 years. They serve over 9 million homes across the country and have a field workforce of around 7,500 engineers.

Hive provides an award-winning range of smart home products – think everything from heating, to lighting, to EV charging!

PH Jones provides the social housing sector in the UK with installation and maintenance services for heating, electrical systems and renewable technologies.

And these are just a few of our brands – there’s a lot going on and a lot to get involved in!

A greener future

We are committed to creating a cleaner and greener future – and we’re making big changes to make sure it happens. These include everything from cutting our UK property emissions to increasing our investment into assets like solar and battery storage and building a zero-emission road fleet in the UK by 2025.

As a business, we already emit 90% less carbon than we did a decade ago and all of these changes will contribute to our goal of being net zero by 2045.

We also want to help our customers achieve the same and are providing services and solutions to support all our customers to be net zero by 2050.

An inclusive team

To build a more sustainable future, we need the best team, which includes a diversity of people and skills.

Employing a diverse range of talent helps us to think differently and support our customers in the best ways possible.

To get to net zero, we need to create thousands of green jobs. And we believe there's a huge opportunity to bring in more talent from under-represented groups to deliver a greener and more inclusive future.

We’ve committed to hire the equivalent of an apprentice every day over the next decade, while removing roadblocks for people from under-represented groups.
