We don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too- we build windmills and sun parks in Britain. We call this 'bills in to mills'.

We don't just focus on energy though- we built Electric Highways, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points, we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world, and, in partnership with RSPB, we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk + RSPB. _Ecotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all._ Job Types: Full-time, Fixed term contract Salary: £30,000.00-£40,000.00 per year Benefits: Additional leave Casual dress Company pension Cycle to work scheme Employee discount On-site parking Schedule: Monday to Friday Ability to commute/relocate: Gloucestershire: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (preferred) Reference ID: 1452
