We're looking for bright, ambitious graduate with a genuine interest in SSE and the prospect of a long term future with us to join our Engineering Graduate Programme in our Transmission business. Our Graduate Programme is designed with our core values in mind and aims to qualify and train you to become our engineers of the future.
