Thinking about a future in the energy industry? Want to develop your employability skills during your summer? Want to secure a graduate place early? Get ahead of the game, fast-track your personal development and fulfil your potential through a summer placement at Centrica.

We are a top 30 FTSE 100 company aiming to become the leading integrated energy company. And there’s not much we don’t know about energy – we source, generate, process, store, trade, supply, service and save it, working all over the world, underground and out to sea.

Our 10-week Summer Placement programme will give you the chance to explore the business so that you can appreciate the diversity of our organisation and our graduate opportunities. You’ll work closely with the business on projects that will address your development needs, give you a high level of responsibility and enable you to develop the fundamental skills needed for working life. Our support network is second to none, and you’ll also be able to get involved in community and charity work.

It really is a win-win situation. You’ll be increasing your employment prospects and, if you perform well, you could leave us with an offer to join our Graduate Programme the following year. We’ll also arrange and pay for accommodation close to your place of work.

Exciting placement opportunities are available in the following areas: General Management (Analyst, Customer Operations, HR, Marketing); Finance; IS; Engineering (Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical); Subsurface (Geoscientist, Geophysicist, Petroleum Engineer).
