Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We’re on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.

Such a pro… it’s like you’ve got 8 arms. We’re on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to turn our vision into a reality. We’re recruiting Smart Meter Engineers to join us in installing our innovative tech.

We’re recruiting across England so you’ll see lots of vacancies in lots of locations. Please only apply to the role and location that is most suitable for you. Please don’t apply to multiple locations.

What you’ll do

As part of the Octopus Energy Services team, we’ll ensure you have the best of everything you need to deliver the top-class service we’re aiming for. Sharing the same performance goals as you, our office team will support you so we’re always working as one team to give the best possible customer experience. You’ll also have the backing of Octopus Energy’s innovative tech power - so we’ll be able to constantly evolve and shift processes to ensure we’re always delivering our best service. This should help to keep admin to a minimum, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

This is made up of multiple-choice questions and three short video interview questions. You’ll be scored fairly by a real person and if you stand out to us, we’ll invite you to an in person recruitment event where you can show us what you’ve got.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you.

Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we’re looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic.
