Saturday working:

- £50 for attending
- £70 for a dual fuel installation
- £35 for a single fuel installation
- Technical aborts are paid at half rate

Next Steps

-

- We do things a little differently around here. If successful in our eligibility questions, we’ll reach out to organise a phone call. This is a great chance to get to know you and how you like to work, we'll be able to give you the low down of the role and it's requirements
- Should your application progress to the next stage, you'll be invited to a virtual interview with a couple of the field team (who you'll likely be working with) so we can learn more about you, your experience and your motivation. You’ll also have the chance ask any questions and learn more about life as a Smart Meter Engineer with Octopus!
- Lastly, we'll ask you to complete a practical trade test to show off your skills. This will require travel to meet one of the team - we always try to book it as close to home as possible!

You'll then hear from one of our recruiters regarding feedback  💚🌿

Our process usually takes up to 4 weeks, but we’ll always do our best to flex around what works for you.

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. 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. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success.
