We’re now the largest electricity supplier in the UK and, according to the Independent, the UK's best place to work. All made possible by our fab team.

We make sure all staff get the training and equipment they need to deliver the best possible experience for our customers. As well as building an inclusive and supportive culture, we’ve got a wide range of benefits and perks that you’ll actually care about.

Our benefits include:

  • Great earnings (including bonuses, lunch allowance, and overtime)
  • State of the art training - developed at our £10m training and R&D centre
  • Share options in Octopus Energy Group - own a part of one of the fastest growing energy tech companies in the world
  • Flexible working, great culture and working with a supportive team

I've been working for Octopus for 6 years now and I really wouldn't want to be working anywhere else. I love the inclusive, friendly culture and the endless opportunities to get involved with exciting projects. We have an amazing team of friendly people here, so coming to work is always a joy!

We do recruitment differently

We've switched corporate interviews for hands-on recruitment days, where you get the opportunity to experience how we work, whilst we find out more about how you work.

We'll run through everything on the day, so you can take a deep dive into what it's like to work with Octopus, and chat to current employees.

In 2023, the majority of candidates invited secured a role. Many even got an offer on the very same day.
