Job Description

Environmental Analyst Placement

Our Environmental Analyst Year in Industry Scheme

Our family of iconic brands offer you the chance to open career-changing doors. You will be helping Centrica develop, implement, and monitor the progress of our climate change strategy for both our own operations but also for our customers. You will get first-hand insight into how the energy industry is changing and the different energy decarbonisation pathways for the future.

The role is challenging, rewarding and diverse. You will be working with the Group Sustainability Team, in the Strategy and Transformation Function. You will be collaborating with colleagues across the wider business and within the team, exposing you to a range of opportunities to expand your skill set and broaden your knowledge of the business.

You will help manage Centrica’s environmental performance reporting using our unique reporting platform. You will need to be confident in IT applications, in particular Excel; as well as able to communicate effectively with operational teams and other functions. You will need to be innovative and agile to overcome hurdles and contribute towards a responsible business.

Centrica operates a Flexible First approach which means giving colleagues the flexibility they need to carry out their role in a way that works best for them, their team, and our customers. While we work in a hybrid manner – from the office and at home – we believe that having face time at work is incredibly important for growth and development. You’ll work flexibly throughout the programme, with your main office location being London/Berkshire.

What we need from you:

We want you to count yourself in! We welcome people from all walks of life who bring fresh perspectives, live our values, and work in line with our core behaviours. If that sounds like you, here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Expecting a minimum 2:1 degree (2:2 if combined with a Masters) ideally in an environmental related subject.
  • If required, able to travel and stay away from home during your placement - flexibility is key to making the most of your experience!
  • We're looking for someone with strong analytical and problem-solving skills and loves working with data.
  • Have the right to work in the UK.
  • Available to start the scheme from 16th June 2026 to 30th July 2027.

Here’s what's in it for you

  • You’ll be paid a salary of £24,000 (pro rata)
  • You'll receive a £2,000 Welcome Bonus with your first salary.

Act Fast!

We review applications on a rolling basis and may close this advert early if we receive a high volume of strong candidates - so don’t wait to apply!

Why should you apply?

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.

If you're full of energy, fired up about sustainability, and ready to craft not only a better tomorrow, but a better you, then come and find your purpose in a team where your voice matters, your growth is non-negotiable, and your ambitions are our priority.

Help us, help you. We would love for you to share any information about yourself throughout our recruitment process so that we can better understand you and help shape your journey.
