Octopus Energy is announcing plans to offer 4,000 new job roles in 2024 alone. The majority of these jobs will be in the services division, including heat pump engineers, solar and EV charger installers, delivery drivers and operations personnel.

The hiring drive comes as Octopus Energy continues to spearhead the adoption of smart home technology and fortifies its workforce to meet the burgeoning demand: latest figures from the Government show that, as reported here, applications for the heat pump grant are up by 39 per cent compared to the year before and Octopus Energy already has over 100,000 customers waiting to get a heat pump installed.

Octopus has also created OctoPalooza, a same-day hiring festival and regional jobs fair allowing candidates to understand the company culture, partake in hiring tests, and potentially get hired on the spot. Octopus is planning to hold the hiring festival once a month in different locations across the country.

John Szymik, CEO of Octopus Energy Services, commented: "In true Octopus fashion, we’ve thought creatively to speed up the process of hiring the UK’s best talent into sustainable services jobs. OctoPalooza is our version of F1’s pitstop process – turbocharging the time it takes to hire exceptional people into future-proof jobs that fit around their lives, not the other way around.”
