A bit about us

We're Cadent, and we're changing the face of energy forever.

You can help us keep people warm, protect the planet, and enjoy tons of support and development opportunities to help you thrive because together, we'll fuel a career as unique as you are.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for excellent communication skills and the ability to keep calm under pressure. You must have either a CCN1 or CMA1 qualification to apply.
