Accelerating the Journey to Net Zero

Do you want to be at the forefront of the UK’s fight to tackle climate change? Distributed Energy has ambitious plans for the future of a Whole System approach by investing in, building and connecting localised, flexible energy assets to accelerate the path to net zero and create a more resilient energy system for the long-term.

On Day one you’ll meet fellow Distributed Energy graduates and network with our Managing Director. You’ll then begin your first departmental rotation on placements that support one or a range of sectors including Electric Vehicles, Heat Networks, Electrical Networks, Digital Services and Major Projects. In your first year you’ll develop professionally in your technical skill area and gain invaluable knowledge of the technologies within Distributed Energy and how they support integrated local energy systems. Some of your highlights will be a taking a lead role in organising and attending SSE graduate conferences, having the opportunity to be involved in engagement activities from primary schools up to universities and taking part in the graduate sustainability project where you develop an innovation project.

In second year you will continue to develop the skills and interests developed in first year. You’ll begin to take on more responsibility within your projects and there will be potential to attend site visits. We’ll look to you to contribute to the creation and delivery of engagement activities from primary schools up to universities. At the end of second year, you’ll get to celebrate the end of your programme with a two-day conference and a networking dinner.

Upon completing graduate programme in Distributed Energy, you will be embedded as a valued part of the team. Our previous graduates have secured roles as Engineers, Junior Project Development Managers and Commercial Modellers, where they now lead on key projects and impact strategic decision making within Distributed Energy.
