The Opportunity:

Core & Metering is inviting you to be a part of a ground-breaking transformation in the energy sector. You'll be at the forefront of providing technical services to our prestigious industrial and commercial clients, propelling sustainable energy practices into the future. Join our team, and you'll become an indispensable part of a market-leading powerhouse that energizes millions of homes and businesses while enhancing your own skill set.

This is your opportunity to step into a role that involves installing cutting-edge metering products, energy monitoring solutions, and control equipment for our esteemed business customers.

We're committed to promoting good mental health and nurturing a supportive, inclusive environment.

• You'll also enjoy a 3% company bonus and an allowance of £1,500 per year to take in monthly cash instalments or to use on a wide range of flexible benefits, from gym memberships to health-related cash plans!


• If you live within the M25, we've also got you covered with a £3,500 London allowance.


• If you're all about performance, you're in for a treat! Our performance incentive schemes can pad your wallet with up to £10,000 (OTE), and overtime opportunities are there to boost your earnings further.


• We will sort everything out when it comes to tools, equipment, uniform, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Plus, we'll set you up with a company vehicle, mobile phone, and laptop.

At EDF, everyone's welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We're committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

We're a disability confident employer and we'll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need. We'll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

The Path to Success:

But here's the kicker - the journey doesn't stop here. We're not just offering a job: we're offering a career path. From a highly skilled Smart Metering operative we provide the platform from where you could ascend to greater heights to LVCT, HVCT and beyond.

Your salary will increase with each milestone, reflecting your competence and dedication.
