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.
Your mission is simple - help us mend it by keeping kitchens running by diving headfirst into the world of appliance repair. Who you are, where you come from, or what you look like does not matter. What does matter is your drive, curiosity and passion for learning a hands‑on trade. If you bring the motivation, we will bring the opportunity.
Kitchens are the heart of the home, and the appliances inside them keep everyday life moving. As a Trainee Kitchen Appliance Engineer, you will be the person customers rely on when things go wrong, getting ovens heating, fridges cooling and washing machines spinning again. You will train at a state‑of‑the‑art centre, gaining practical experience, expert guidance and an industry‑recognised qualification. With the support of experienced engineers, you will soon be out in your local area making a real difference in people’s homes.
This is a sleeves‑up, hands‑on role where no two days are the same. You will solve real problems for real people, combining technical skill with great customer service. If you are excited by learning a trade, building a long‑term career and helping customers with confidence and care, this could be the perfect place to start.
A starting salary of £28,090 which will continue to rise as you hit specific milestones during your traineeship.
