About Centrica

Centrica is a top 30 FTSE 100 company with over 30 million customer accounts, a turnover of £26.6 billion and 37,000 employees worldwide. We want current and future generations to be able to rely on secure energy supplies. So we are making vital investments across the whole energy spectrum – in nuclear and gas-fired power stations, wind farms and liquefied natural gas, as well as in global exploration for new sources of gas. At the same time, we are also working hard to supply cleaner energy.

The Role

How do you ensure British Gas delivers what our customers need? What should our message be to customers in homes and businesses throughout the UK? To be the leading energy company in our chosen markets, we must deliver great products, service and value for our customers, and optimise our communication channels to maximise our brand and drive profitable growth throughout the organisation.

Our exciting 10-week Summer Placement Scheme will give you a real-life look at a graduate career with us, showing how you could help us understand, manage and shape our ‘go to market’ strategy. For example, you might discover how we use TV, radio, press and social media to keep our customers informed and engaged. Or you could help develop a new product or build a business case to take a product to market.

At the end of the scheme, you will have a deep understanding of this important area of our business and the crucial role it plays in our success. More importantly, you will know if you have what it takes to help us attract even more customers to our world-class products and services.

Perform well on the scheme and you could go back to university with an offer to join our graduate programme after you leave. That’s on top of the paid accommodation you get for your placement.

To give you the widest possible experience of life with us, we will encourage you to get involved with our many community and charity activities. In the last three years, students like you have raised over £50K for good causes – learning vital work and life skills in the process. We hope a few friendships have also been made along the way.

Requirements

Who are we looking for? We’re open to students from any discipline with a keen interest in marketing; strong leadership skills and a powerful sense of personal and social responsibility

Minimum requirements: 2:1 degree or Masters (with 2:2 degree minimum). You must be in your penultimate or final year of study.

How to Apply

Based on the popularity of this scheme in previous years, we encourage you to apply early.
