Hi, We’re Bulb. Nice to meet you. 

We are the UK's biggest green energy supplier, providing affordable, renewable energy to homes and businesses across the UK. Our mission is to help people lower their energy bills and reduce their carbon impact at the same time.  

Founded in 2015, we were named the UK’s fastest growing private company in 2018 and 2019, and in February 2021 we were named Europe's fastest growing company by the Financial Times.  

Over 1.7 million UK households have signed up to renewable energy by Bulb and we’ve now expanded into Texas, France and Spain. We’re an accredited Living Wage Employer; we’ve been picked as one of LinkedIn’s top 25 UK tech startups to work for; and we’re a certified B Corp.  

Our Energy Specialists are the people in charge of Bulb’s customer experience.

At other energy companies, customers might be handed around to different departments, but at Bulb, our Energy Specialists are able to handle any query from beginning to end.  You’ll be helping customers with their accounts, answering questions about Bulb, contacting other energy suppliers and everything in between. You’ll be learning huge amounts about how a modern, innovative company engages with its customers.

Our Energy Specialists drive Bulb's long-term success. We're looking for people willing to invest into the role and the team. In return, we’ll give you the opportunity to impact the way our business works.
