Job Description

How can 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.

This exciting 10-week scheme gives you a real-life look at a graduate career with us and 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. 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’ll have a deep understanding of this important area of our business and the crucial role it plays in our success. More importantly, you’ll 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 10-week summer placement.

To give you the widest possible experience of life with us, we’ll 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.

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.

Closing date for applications is 1 February 2016.

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