SSE STEM returners programme

If you have STEM skills and want to restart your career after a break, our STEM returners programme could be for you.

SSE has teamed up with STEM Returners to develop a programme designed to support those who’ve taken a career break or are looking to return to the sector. We have opportunities across several areas of the business including:

  • SSEN Transmission
  • SSE Renewables
  • Distributed Energy

 

It’s a paid 12-week programme which is aimed specifically at those wishing to go back to engineering mid-career after a break of any length. The programme will be based in various SSE locations across the UK and Ireland.

All returners who take part will have the opportunity to gain a full-time position with SSE making this a genuine opportunity to restart careers locally.

 

There are currently no STEM returner opportunities available at SSE. We hope to have more opportunities available soon.
