What is the Role?


Our Electrical Power Networks Engineer Apprenticeship programme lasts for up to three years and combines academic study with work-based experience.

To be considered for this role, we would love you to be:

  • Highly organised and self-driven with the ability to manage your time well.
  • Flexible in your approach to work to maximise your chances of success, and you should be happy working alone or as part of a team.
  • Comfortable to spend some time living away from home whilst attending college or on placements across SSE.
For entrance onto the educational aspect of our programme it's important that you have, or expect to achieve the below qualifications prior to starting the programme in September 2023:

  • Five GCSE's at Grade C/4 (or above) including Level 2 or GCSE C/4 or above in English, Maths and Science and,
  • Level 3 qualification in Engineering OR A Levels in Maths and Physics
  • Or equivalent qualifications


For this engineering career entrance pathway we are looking for individuals who are keen to develop their electrical engineering education journey in addition to starting their career.

We are therefore looking for applicants who
do not currently hold a HND,
or above, in Electrical engineering. If you do already hold this qualification, then please consider other roles on offer.
