View live opportunities →About E.ON
E.ON works across energy supply, smart meter installation, heat networks, solar and EV infrastructure, with UK operations centred on the Midlands.
Early-career routes split between customer and commercial roles and genuinely technical ones — smart metering, electrical installation, energy engineering and data.
It is a good entry point if you want energy work without moving to Aberdeen or London.
Why work here
- Practical decarbonisation work: heat pumps, solar, EV charging and heat networks.
- Apprenticeships available in installation and engineering, not just business admin.
- Hybrid working on most office-based technical roles.
- Large enough to move internally between commercial, data and engineering teams.
