Electrical Engineering - Summer Internship 2025

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.

Electrical Engineering 

As the UK’s largest integrated energy company, when we say we can give you an experience like no other, we really mean it! Our diverse portfolio of assets will expose you to a unique and wide-ranging set of activities and opportunities – making this the perfect place to launch your career in engineering. 

Engineers are at the heart of developing, operating, upgrading and/or decommissioning all of Centrica’s energy asset portfolio. This portfolio includes the largest gas store in the UK, offshore and onshore gas production assets and Net Zero projects including solar, battery and hydrogen technologies. 

Our summer placement programme will immerse you in the engineering behind these assets, supporting dynamic teams and taking on real engineering challenges.  

No practical electrical engineering experience? No problem. With a positive and proactive attitude, on this programme you will gain first-hand experience of an industrial environment, helping you develop into a successful engineer of the future. 

Centrica’s assets are based across the UK, with hubs in Windsor, Hessle (East Yorkshire) and Brigg (North Lincolnshire). Our nine-week summer placement will have elements of in-person activity at Windsor and at operational sites, and the extent of travel and in-person activity varies depending on the exciting projects our interns get involved in!  

What we need from you: 

• Expecting a 1st degree in a suitable electrical (or closely related) engineering discipline, accredited by the relevant engineering institution (or a 2:1 with 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.
