What is the role?
SSEN Transmission’s Legal Team plays a crucial role in delivering key projects and supporting various business areas including commercial and construction, property and planning, and providing regulatory support. We work closely with our colleagues to support the successful delivery of our Network for Net Zero, and the growth required to our network to support a net zero future, reinforcing the SSE Group’s fully funded Net Zero Accelerated Programme.
We are seeking a summer placement student with a passion for the energy industry to join us for a 12-week placement. The paid placement will give you exposure to diverse areas of law in an exciting, fast-paced business.
This opportunity will involve experience within the varied team specialisms including property, commercial and construction and dispute resolution. A typical day in the legal team may include experience of document drafting, negotiation, client meetings and providing advice and support to colleagues across SSEN Transmission, helping them to understand, minimise and mitigate legal risks.
Our summer placement students work collaboratively in a variety of contexts, while also taking ownership of their role by working under their own direction to drive action forward. There will be networking and presentation opportunities, specialist sessions and support from our graduates.
What do I need?
Our opportunities are open to students who are:
- In their 3rd or 4th year of the LLB undergraduate law degree
- In their 1st or 2nd year of the accelerated LLB
- Candidates who have completed the LLB degree and are undertaking, or have completed, the Diploma in Legal Practice (or equivalent).
We'd love you to have some practical work or project experience that reflects your passion for the energy sector, as well as demonstrable experience of working in a team. You'll also be comfortable working to and setting stretching individual targets and using your own initiative to overcome challenges and should have a genuine interest in SSE and the prospect of a long-term future with us.
