What you'll be doing
Centrica has a clear vision to be a leader in the decarbonised, decentralised energy system. The transition from fossil fuels to low carbon and renewable energy sources is one of the most pressing and complex challenges facing mankind, and Engineers are central to its success.
At Centrica, we need committed, enthusiastic Engineers to help us in our journey. Our award winning Summer Placement programme will give you the opportunity to work in a real life environment on meaningful projects, and it will give us a chance to see the real you.
Areas you could potentially get involved in include gas processing, electricity generation and gas storage work.
You will be working from day one as part of a team and we have high expectations of our summer placements.
