    The Distribution Trainee Engineer programme is designed to build the foundation blocks of your electrical engineering career.

This will provide you with an excellent opportunity to become the Power Engineer of the future. You will work towards becoming a Low Voltage Switcher and a High Voltage Switcher, making the Network safe to work on and maintaining Network integrity and resilience whilst ensuring safe and reliable supply of electricity to our customers. This combined with your newly developed project management skills will enable you to contribute towards the daily operation, repair and design of the Network whilst supporting the drive towards a Distribution NetZero.

    You are provided additional support, training and guidance whilst on your learning journey to help you make a fantastic start to your engineering career within SSEN.On completion of your programme, you will be qualified to work as an Engineer in the field using your qualifications and authorisations to maintain the continuity of Supply to our customers.

    What do I need?

    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. Candidates based in Shetland will regularly work on the Mainland during the programme and will be fully supported with travel and accommodation while away from home.

    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 2024:
    • 3 Scottish Highers at grade BCC or above including Maths, OR 2 A levels at grade CC or above and including maths
    • National 5 Physics or Engineering Science plus English at grade C or above, OR GCSE Physics and English at grade C or above, or equivalent

Please consider applying for the Higher Apprenticeship Electrical Power Networks Engineering role or other programmes if you already hold this qualification.
