Whether developing wind operations or maintaining the grids and plants that help keep the lights on, our engineering teams are diverse in their specialisms but united in their goal: Provide the innovation we need to take us closer to net zero with a relentless focus on safety, sustainability, our communities, customers and the environment.
We understand that engineers currently in high-carbon industries or other sectors have a wealth of skills and knowledge which are transferable to our roles at SSE.
