Energy retail and home services at scale across UK and Ireland
Centrica operates across energy retail, home services, and distributed energy with 10M+ customers through brands including British Gas and Bord Gáis Energy. The tech stack is heavily SAP-dependent (EWM, BTP, Integration Suite, Master Data Governance) paired with Python-based analytics (pandas, scikit-learn, Power BI) — a pattern typical of large utilities managing both transactional scale and regulatory reporting. Active hiring in engineering and data roles, plus a Transformation Management Director, signals operational modernization alongside core infrastructure maintenance.
