Apprentice Heating Installation Engineer
Job Description
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:
Step into a career where your curiosity, determination, and appetite for hands‑on learning really count. As a Heating Installations Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in helping households enjoy reliable, efficient heating - 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 our award‑winning academies, you won’t just learn the basics - you’ll develop the skills, qualifications, and practical experience to thrive. You’ll train on energy‑efficient gas heating systems and gain specialist expertise in installing air source heat pumps, giving you the tools to build a long‑term, future‑focused career. With guidance from experienced engineers, you’ll be supported every step of the way as you build capability and confidence.
This is a role where you’ll make a real impact. You’ll be out in the community, solving challenges, meeting customers, and helping homes become more sustainable. No two days look the same - one day you’re installing a new system, the next you’re helping someone understand how to reduce their energy use and cut their carbon footprint.
If you’re looking for a career with purpose, progression, and hands‑on learning - and you want to feel supported as you grow - this could be your next step. Bring your ambition. Bring your curiosity. We’ll help you turn it into a career that makes a difference.
Here's what we’re looking for:
4 GCSEs (or Scottish Nat 5's) at grade C/4 or above, ideally including Maths and English, or equivalent qualification.
A CV that shows your enthusiasm for learning a hands‑on trade, a natural mechanical or technical interest, and a genuine commitment to delivering great customer service.
A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points.
Availability to attend training at our UK-wide academies, with provided accommodation and travel if needed.
This is a physical role involving lifting, bending and working at height and in confined spaces, including handling heavy equipment such as boilers and radiators.
Here’s what's in it for you:
A starting salary of £19,307 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 £45,806 with bonus and add ons on top.
We also offer London Weighting Allowance ranging from £4,327 to £6,490 (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.
