SSEESG & Sustainability Jobs

Leading energy company focused on sustainable energy solutions, providing electricity and gas while aiming for net-zero emissions.

SSE is a UK-listed energy company operating across electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. Its businesses span offshore and onshore wind, hydro, solar, battery storage, and gas-fired thermal generation, alongside two regulated network businesses - SSEN Transmission (high-voltage grid in northern Scotland) and SSEN Distribution (local electricity networks in Scotland and southern England). SSE Airtricity serves energy customers in Ireland, and SSE Energy Solutions provides commercial energy services.

Why it matters

SSE is one of the largest investors in low-carbon electricity infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. The company is constructing what it describes as the world's largest offshore wind farm and has committed a £33 billion, five-year capital programme focused on renewables and grid upgrades. Upgraded transmission and distribution networks are a prerequisite for integrating large volumes of wind and solar onto the grid, making SSE's network businesses directly relevant to the energy transition. The company has set a target of operational net zero by 2050 with interim 2030 goals aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

SSE employs people across engineering, technical operations, IT, corporate functions, and early-careers programmes throughout the UK and Ireland.
