    We are Centrica

    We're more than just 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.

Diversity is the fuel to our flame — it's what sparks our innovation, fosters resilience, and makes us a genuinely great place to work. We're looking for people to add to our culture - not fit in with it.
