Our C&I Engineering Summer Internship

Centrica is the UK’s largest integrated energy company and, therefore, has a diverse portfolio of assets that offer you a chance to gain critical experience in a broad range of engineering activities.

Engineers are at the heart of developing, operating, upgrading and decommissioning all of Centrica’s asset portfolio, including 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 in both technical and project functions.

Areas you could potentially get involved in include gas processing, electricity generation and energy storage work. You will be working from day one as part of a team and there will be plenty to get your teeth into; it will take a lot of hard work and initiative on your part. In return, you’ll get to develop career-boosting skills and could earn yourself a place on our Graduate Programme if you really stand out from the crowd.

At Centrica, we believe face-to-face collaboration is key to making the most of your internship. While we support flexible working across the business, our summer interns are based full-time, predominantly in our London/Berkshire office to maximise learning, connection, and development.

What we need from you:

We want you to count yourself in! We welcome people from all walks of life who bring fresh perspectives, live our values, and work in line with our core behaviours. If that sounds like you, here’s what we’re looking for:

• We’re looking for penultimate-year MEng students or final-year BEng students who are planning on completing an MEng (or equivalent)
• You should be expecting a 1st or 2:1 Master’s degree in a Instrument & Controls (or closely related) engineering discipline.
• If required, able to travel and stay away from home during your internship - flexibility is key to making the most of your experience!
• Have the right to work in the UK.
• Ideally be in possession of a full UK driving licence, as you may be required to travel to remote locations

Why should you apply?

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.

If you're full of energy, fired up about sustainability, and ready to craft not only a better tomorrow, but a better you, then come and find your purpose in a team where your voice matters, your growth is non-negotiable, and your ambitions are our priority.

Help us, help you. We would love for you to share any information about yourself throughout our recruitment process so that we can better understand you and help shape your journey.
