Build a rewarding career and better world of energy with SSE
A role with SSE – the leading developer and operator of low-carbon electricity in the UK and Ireland – is an opportunity to build a rewarding career, and a way to help build a world that’s cleaner, greener, and fairer for all.
We’re investing £17.5 billion over the next few years in major projects like building the world’s largest windfarm, that will provide vital low-carbon electricity for millions of people. And building flexible networks to deliver the sustainable energy we all need to heat our homes and businesses, drive our cars, and power our lives.
We’re a real Living Wage and Fair Tax Mark accredited company and currently employ 14,500 people across the UK and Ireland. We offer diverse career opportunities across the UK and Ireland, agile working and excellent benefits.
Whatever your role – from element-braving, asset-developing to customer-facing – you have the power to change your world. So join us on our journey to net zero.
Life at SSE
Whether you spend your day on top of a turbine at a wind farm, engaging directly with customers, supporting our power network infrastructure or in the hustle and bustle of one of our major offices; careers at SSE are challenging, motivating and make a direct impact on the UK’s journey to net zero. We take care of our people, our customers and the communities we serve.
We take a strategic approach to creating an inclusive workforce. Our culture encourages everyone to be themselves – no matter what your background is. And no matter what, safety is at the heart of everything we do - ‘if it’s not safe, we don’t do it’.
We want SSE to be a healthy, happy place to work. That means making sure you have the encouragement, resources and support you need to take good care of yourselves – and each other.
We offer our people lots of benefits and services to support their health and wellbeing, helping you find ways to balance all your roles and responsibilities and work towards a healthier, happier life.
At SSE, we’re on a mission to empower more female talent in business leadership. We recognise everyone’s career aspirations look slightly different. We’re working to create a culture where equality, fairness and diversity are not just intentions but actions.
Innovative solutions to climate change need diverse perspectives, different experiences and new skills. That’s why our plans to create a workplace where the principles of equality, fairness, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do.
At SSE, everyone gives their best every day to build a better world of energy. Our flexible benefits package is our way of saying thanks. It’s designed to support the important things in life, like family commitments and finances, wellbeing, and work / life balance. Take a look at some of the highlights.

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.
