Electrician Level 3 Apprenticeship

Electrician Level 3 Apprenticeship

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. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. 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’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.

About your role:

Your mission is to help us mend it by diving head first into the world of electrical Installation & maintenance. Age? Gender? Background? Just numbers and stories that make you, you. We’re here for your drive, your passion, and that spark in your eyes.

This is your chance to kickstart a career that powers homes, energises communities, and lights up lives. As an Apprentice Electrician, you won’t just learn the ropes - you’ll master them. From day one, you’ll be absorbing knowledge, sharpening your skills, and working toward becoming a fully qualified Domestic Electrician - a true household hero.

Don’t be fooled, this isn’t your average gig; It’s boots on the ground, tools in hand, and learning by doing. You’ll get stuck in, get your hands dirty, and grow into a role that’s as rewarding as it is essential. If you’ve got the spark, we’ve got the switch!

Here's what we’re looking for:

• 4 GCSEs, ideally including Maths & English, at grade C/4 or above or a recognised equivalent.
• A genuine passion for learning a trade & striving for a successful career whilst working to the highest levels of safety.
• A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points.
• Availability to attend your training course, with provided accommodation and travel if needed (training is hosted by Trade Skills 4U in predetermined locations in England).
• Customer-first mindset - You’ll listen, understand, and offer energy-saving solutions that make a real difference in people’s homes.

Here’s what's in it for you.

• A starting salary of £18,564 which will continue to rise as you hit specific milestones during your apprenticeship.
• Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support your salary will increase to £41, 389 with bonus and add ons on top.
• We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4,160 to £6,240 (dependant on location) for living or starting your day within London.
• An expensed electric van for you to use for work, including an EV charge point where applicable & charge card.
