Internship: DTS Software Engineering

What made you apply to Centrica?

"I applied to Centrica because of the variety in career the company can offer. Centrica have business areas throughout the energy industry from consumer energy with British Gas, commercial energy with CBS, to supplying & trading energy with EM&T, as well as digital services like Hive. This allows me to develop and build technical & professional skills by working in teams focusing on different projects and tech stacks."

What did you enjoy the most about your internship?

"I really enjoyed being placed into a team where your work actually made an impact making your 8/9 weeks feel valuable. But the part I enjoyed most was the socialising with the team, discussing problems and getting insights into how others solve problems."

How has the programme helped you to develop?

"The summer internship helped with my professional development with group sessions discussing mental health and leadership skills. The internship has also given me a head start in my graduate scheme as I understood the business culture and working methods which allowed me to get straight into my job!"

What advice would you give to somebody thinking of applying for the internship?

"If you are looking to join somewhere which can offer you variety, a great work-life balance, career development, opportunities to make a real-world impact, then look no further! When applying, do your research! Centrica is much more than just British Gas... Having a deep understanding of the energy industry & Centrica's values will make you impressive in the application process."
