British Gas Engineering Academy
Forget the image of engineering being a career solely for muscle-bound men who can lift a heavy toolbox– at British Gas it’s a career that’s open to people of both genders and from all kinds of backgrounds. This is because it’s more about using your people skills when you visit customers’ homes than it is about having the technical knowledge to repair or service central heating systems (which our training will teach you anyway). We’ll give you all the tools you need – which are just as likely to be a mobile phone and a laptop as a set of spanners – and a salary of £12,897 when you train, rising to £29,000 on qualification. And with more and more people in your local area calling on our services, your career can really take off.
