Engineering and technical
We have big ambitions to build a better world of energy for the future and we’re looking for the very best talent to help us do to this. Engineering is a core specialism at the heart of these goals.
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.
Transition to a low carbon career
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.
