Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution and need your help to turn our vision into a reality.
 
We're looking for smart meter engineers with a track record of safety and customer excellence. You’ll be representing our brands in our customers’ homes so you’ll need to be just as happy talking to the customer and getting to know them as you are about doing the installation itself.
 
You’ll be fitting meters; showing customers how their meter and in-home display work; how it can help them save energy and answering any questions about the green energy revolution we are leading.
 
As part of the Octopus Energy Services team, we’ll ensure you have the best of everything you need to deliver the top-class service we’re aiming for. You’ll be supported by an office team who will share the same performance goals, so we’re always working as one team. You’ll also have the backing of Octopus Energy’s massive tech power - so we’ll be able to constantly evolve and shift processes to ensure less time spent on admin and more time spent on delivering our best service. 

The next steps:

We do things a little differently around here. If successful in our eligibility questions, we’ll be in touch to discuss joining us at our in-person recruitment event where you can show us what you’ve got! This is what we’ll ask of you on the day:
 
        Complete a quick trades test to show off your skills
        Answer a few online questions to demonstrate your customer-engagement experience
        Have a short interview with the area manager so we can learn more about you, your experience and your motivation. You’ll also have the chance ask any questions and learn more about life as a Smart Meter Engineer with Octopus
 
Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Whoever you are (whether man, woman, tall or small), if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply (even if you don’t meet 100% of our requirements) as you might just be the candidate we hire. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate based on any protected attribute. Our dedication is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone. 

What you'll need:

  • MOCoPA - at least 1ph WC
  • Gas Safe – CCN1/MET1 or CMA1/MET1 (or equivalent)
  • Full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points

  • Octopus Energy has an extraordinary culture. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!

  • £3000 London weighting if living within M25
  • £2,500 annual performance bonus, and fit bonuses
