Work-life balance perfected

Changing energy forever is hard work – but we still have fun while we do it. With plenty of clubs, office socials and even a summer festival, your social life won’t be forgotten at OVO.

Being better for everyone

We’re passionate about being better for everyone. Not just our customers, but our local communities, too. Become part of the OVO team and you can give something back all year round.

Volunteering

Through our OVO Gives Back programme, you can volunteer at the local charities that mean the most to us, as we bring you new and inventive ways to get involved every month. It’s an awesome way to make a difference while meeting other OVO team members.

Mentoring

Love coding, or just want to help kids learn new skills? Then why not help bring it to life by helping at one of our CoderDojo workshops?

OVO Foundation

Our charity helps create a brighter future for young people across the world – whether we’re giving young homeless people properties to refurbish and live in, or bringing electricity to schools in Kenya. We’re committed to finding solutions to big social issues.

Our three OVO values

We’re pretty easy-going at OVO. We only have three values. But they apply to everything we do.

At OVO we're shaping the future, not just waiting for it to happen to us.

We’re still putting our customers first

OVO is the first energy company designed around customers, not shareholders.

We’ve come a long way since we set out to make energy cheaper, greener and simpler for our customers. And while these days our sights are set higher, we still make every decision as though our customers are in the room – if we think they won’t like something, we won’t do it.

We’re all the same here: beautifully different

Bring your energy, dreams, passions – and let’s be different together.

A great OVO-life balance

We make work work for everyone. So whether you’re just stepping into your new parent shoes, or want to make sure you’ll have a great OVO-life balance, we’ve got your back. We offer flexible working hours, competitive parental benefits and working-from-home opportunities for some roles.

Powering human progress

We’re pioneering lots of ambitious, gargantuan ideas here. Like increasing the number of women in tech and leadership roles, and championing mental health in the workplace. It’s the pledges we make – POWERful Women and Time To Change – for a better world.

Many voices, one OVO

We’re laser-focused on finding and bringing as many voices, ideas, and perspectives as possible to our table (and our beanbags). We’re about being a home to everyone, no matter where their home is. Our Parenting, Women in Tech, and LGBTQ+ networks vouch for that.

Passion has its perks

Doing your bit for the planet and our customers is rewarding in itself. But there are plenty of other advantages to working at OVO.

Work with the best

You’ll rub shoulders with some of the brightest, most passionate people in the business. People take courses in college to learn what you’ll learn at OVO every day.

A more rewarding career

Once you’ve finished your probation period, you’ll be in line to pick up a performance-based bonus every six months. Gets better and better, doesn’t it?

Flexible benefits package

As a little extra help, we’ll chip in an extra 4% of your basic salary towards a holiday, computer, cycle, health plan, ISA saving and much more. You'll also benefit from our pension scheme comprising of a matched employer contribution of 5% of your salary.

Join the club

Or, shall we say ‘clubs’? We have lots of them, no matter what you’re into – football, books, board games, yoga, beer tasting and then some. Best of all? We even pay half of the cost.

25 days holiday and a happy birthday

You know what they say about all work and no play. That’s why we give you 25 days holiday a year, plus a day off for your birthday.

Free breakfast every day

A good breakfast starts the day right. So we serve up a free brekkie for everyone, every single day of the week.

Find your perfect career

Our London and Bristol offices have a relaxed, homely feel, with plenty of breakout areas and chill-out sofas. Bristol even has a treehouse – so naturally, it was named one of the UK’s coolest office spaces in 2018. And of course, both are just a stone’s throw away from the nearest tube or rail station.
