SSE Just Transition

Change your career. Change your life.

SSE are working in partnership with your HR team in Grangemouth to support employees who are looking to transition into a low-carbon career.

We are committed to ensuring a fair and just transition to net zero for working people and encouraging more people in high-carbon jobs or other sectors to move into low-carbon careers at SSE. That’s why we were the first company in the world to produce a Just Transition Strategy and in 2021 published a set of commitments to support the worker transition.

From engineering to project management or health and safety professionals, we understand that people currently in high-carbon industries have a wealth of skills and knowledge which are relevant to our roles at SSE.

 

29% of SSE employees previously worked in high carbon jobs*

Supporting a Just Transition

We recognise transferable skills and support employees to learn new skills too

  • We do not ask for specific low-carbon, such as renewables, experience within job adverts unless absolutely necessary

  • We focus on skills and strengths-based criteria for recruitment

  • We pay for the acquisition of formal skills-based qualifications

  • We promote a culture of continuous learning and development.
