Trainee Kitchen Appliance Engineer

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.

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.

Step into a career where your curiosity, determination and appetite for hands‑on learning really count. As a Trainee Kitchen Appliance Engineer, you'll play a vital role in keeping homes running smoothly by bringing essential appliances back to life, while building a future‑ready skillset you can be genuinely proud of. Whether you’re changing direction, starting fresh, or looking for a role with real purpose, this is your chance to grow.

What matters most is your drive to learn, your problem‑solving spark, and your commitment to doing great work with care and confidence.

At a state‑of‑the‑art training centre, you won't just learn the basics - you’ll develop the skills, qualifications, and practical experience to thrive. You'll learn how to diagnose, service and repair a wide range of kitchen appliances, from electric ovens and hobs to washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigeration. With support from experienced engineers, you'll develop the technical expertise, confidence, and know‑how to solve problems and make a real difference from day one.

This is a role where you’ll make a real impact. You’ll be out in the community, meeting customers, solving problems, and keeping appliance powered up and safe. No two days are the same - from restoring a broken oven before a family meal to getting a washing machine back up and running, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help customers.

You'll diagnose faults, repair essential household appliances, and help customers get the best performance from their products, ensuring their homes continue to run smoothly.

Every job is a chance to make a real difference. We're proud that our commitment to inclusion and developing future talent has been recognised through awards including EDI Initiative of the Year at the 2026 Women in Utilities Awards, being named a Times Top 50 Employer for Gender Equality for the fifth consecutive year.
