Year in Industry – Environmental Analyst

Life at Centrica

We're more than an energy company: We are a family of 12 different brands, on a mission to revolutionise how we power the planet. We heat homes, light up careers, and ignite communities.

We’re Energisers. We live and breathe energy. We’re constantly learning, collaborating, and empowering change. On top of your day-to-day role, there are many colleague-led networks and communities that we encourage you to get involved in that are focussed on celebrating individuality and chatting about the things we love. From networks that celebrate LGTBQ+ and disability, to digital communities where we talk all things fitness and gaming! We also strongly encourage volunteering by giving 2 days paid time off so that you can give back to your local community.

We are a Flexible-First employer, which means we live and breathe a culture of trust and flexibility when it comes to where and when we work. Although we don’t have mandated office working, we need you to be willing to travel on-site regularly as we believe immersing yourself into our social and collaborative culture is vital in making the most of the opportunities we offer and will give you the best possible head start in your career.

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