Dual Fuel Smart Meter Engineer (London)

Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution and need your help to turn our vision into a reality.

We're looking for smart meter engineers with a track record of safety and customer excellence. You’ll be representing our brands in our customers’ homes, so you’ll need to be just as happy talking to the customer and getting to know them as you are about doing the installation itself.

You’ll fit meters, show customers how their meter and in‑home display work, help them see how it can save energy, and answer any questions about the green energy revolution we are leading.

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. You’ll be supported by an office team that shares the same performance goals, so we’re always working as one team. You’ll also have the backing of Octopus Energy’s massive tech power — we’ll constantly evolve processes to reduce admin time and increase service delivery.

Base pay range

£36,500 starting salary. £2,500 annual performance bonus, and additional fit bonuses. £25 per week lunch allowance. Company vehicle, fuel, and tools. 600 share options in Octopus Energy Group. Referral programme. Company pension. Enhanced maternity & paternity leave. Health & wellbeing programme. Opportunities to up‑skill to renewable tech (Electric Vehicles and Heat Pumps). For every asset installed beyond your sixth, you’ll earn an additional £15.

What you'll need:

• MOCoPA held within the last 2 years and evidence available
• Gas Safe – CCN1/MET1 or CMA1/MET1 (or equivalent)
• Full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points

Call‑out and Overtime

• Rotating call‑out schedule once every five weeks (Monday to Sunday) with a £250 retainer. If called out, you’ll be paid from door to door.

Saturday working

• £50 for attendance
• £70 for a dual‑fuel installation
• £35 for a single‑fuel installation
• Technical aborts are paid at half rate

Next Steps

• If successful with eligibility questions, we’ll contact you to discuss joining us at our in‑person recruitment event, Octopalooza, where you can show us what you’ve got.
• On the day you’ll be welcomed, checked over your qualifications, and given a practical trade test. You'll then have a short interview with an Area Manager to discuss your experience and motivation, and the chance to ask questions about life as a Smart Meter Engineer with Octopus.

Our process usually takes up to 4 weeks, but we’ll always flex around what works for you. Talk with our recruitment team and your Recruiter throughout the stages. For questions, drop us a message at hiring@octoenergy.com.

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