We are Centrica! We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising a cleaner, greener future. Working here is # MoreThanACareer - we’re powered by purpose. Together we can make an impact that will truly change tomorrow. Whether you’re developing cutting-edge green tech, helping customers on the front line or simplifying operations behind the scenes.

Your work here isn’t just a job – it’s a mission. We all play a vital role in energising a greener, fairer future.

Ready to get more from your summer?

This is your chance to add the world’s leading integrated energy company to your CV. What are you waiting for? Ignite your future, kick-start your career and get paid whilst you get real experience, in real projects.

DTS Software Engineering  

Immerse yourself in the world of Centrica, IT, and you will become part of our growing team of Software Engineers spanning a range of disciplines including Data Engineering, Data Science, Cloud Platform Engineering, Digital Product Engineering, Network Engineering, and Information/Cyber Security. You will learn new software and data skills and, maybe more importantly, how to apply them to business opportunities. 

You will be expected to learn and develop with software that is new to you and can expect to be pushed out of your comfort zone and be problem-solving from day one. You will be given the opportunity to pitch and demonstrate your solutions to Senior Management at various times on the programme.  

You will be supported by our network of technical experts who will enable your technical and behavioural skills development.  

Your placement will be with one of our technology teams where you will be given the opportunity to learn new skills and apply them in a business environment, that may include:  

• Web & mobile app development to build digital products for our customers 
• Core application development to build functionality into our customer and billing systems 
• Data engineering, data science, and machine learning to provide intelligent capabilities 
• Cloud platform/network engineering to build flexible and scalable solution environments 
• Information/cyber security technology to ensure our environments are safe and secure 

Whichever placement you are on, you’ll be exposed to projects delivering real software solutions, learning new software and data skills, and understanding how they can be used to drive business results.  

Our main office is in Windsor, but we also have offices in Leicester and London. We’d love for you to be open and willing to travel to our different sites to really get the most from your 9 weeks with us. This will give you a better experience of how our people and teams work together across Centrica.     

Here's what we need from you:  

• Expecting a minimum 2:1 degree (2:2 if combined with a Masters) 
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook 
• Have the right to work in the UK 
• Available to start the programme from 17th June – Friday 15th August 2025   

We’re a people place  

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels they can belong – and we’re looking for people to add to this culture, not fit in with it.  

We know that every voice matters, and every new perspective makes us more empathetic and reflective of the 10 million customers we serve.  

You are welcome here for who you are, no matter how you see the world, how you express yourself or the journey you’ve been on to get here. It’s our differences that will give us the power to revolutionise the future of our planet.  

With 13 different colleague networks, there’s space to find your community, beyond the graduate sphere.    

Here’s what's in it for you  

You’ll be paid a salary of £24,000 (pro rata) and accommodation will be provided for the duration of your placement, if required.  

About Centrica

Be part of more

We’re so much more than an energy company.

We're a family of brands, revolutionising how we power the planet.

We’re made up of eight brilliant businesses that each make their own impact across every stage of the energy chain.

We Make it. Store it. Move it. Sell it. Mend it.

We do energy differently. We do it all.

That’s why we’re more – and why working here is more than a career.

Powered by Purpose

We’re all united in the same mission: Energising a greener, fairer future.

We’re not just part of the energy transition – we’re leading it. Through innovative green products, intelligent storage solutions and developing smarter ways for customers to use and save energy, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on our planet.

We’re also living our powerful commitment to create positive change in our local communities. Each year, our colleagues are given two paid volunteering days, to support causes that matter to them – and, in 2023, we donated over £1million to local projects that they had identified.

We're a People Place

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels they can belong – and we’re looking for people to add to this culture, not fit in with it.

You are welcome here for who you are, no matter how you see the world, how you express yourself or the journey you’ve been on to get here. It’s our differences that will give us the power to revolutionise the future of our planet.

From parenthood to pride, our networks help our people find their community within Centrica. They challenge us to think and act differently and open opportunities for learning and allyship across the business.

Energise your Career

Your journey is just as important as ours.

All of our graduate schemes are built upon rotations – meaning you’ll have the opportunity to work across a range of brands and business units, guiding teams, driving change and challenging the status quo.

We want to invest in your future so you can help re-write ours. Over half of all our recruitment is prioritised internally – so when we say we’re big on opportunities. We mean it.

We offer more than just a salary. If we do well, so do you. We give all colleagues a slice of our annual profits as company shares. From a great pension, to healthcare and energy discounts, we make work, worth it with access to a host of additional benefits like retail vouchers, gym passes, additional holidays and an electric car scheme.
