Ongoing recruitment scam
We have been made aware of a scam where people are being approached by individuals posing as employees from SSE Energy Services. They are being given fake information around contact details, interviews and are also being asked for bank details.
If you have applied for roles with SSE, you will not receive any communications from SSE Energy Services. SSE Energy Services is now owned and operated by OVO Energy and is no longer part of SSE.
If you have any concerns about the authenticity of an interview invite or any correspondence which seems to be from SSE, please contact us at sse.resourcing.team@sse.com.
