"I’ve learnt a vast amount from the placement managers and mentors who I’ve had the pleasure of working with during the scheme."

This graduate program is a great way of moving around different placements and projects, gaining insight into lots of different renewable energy developments."

"I am working towards my IET Chartership. I have a chartership mentor who not only is chartered herself, but she is also a senior member in the business and is able to help guide my career to aid in meeting chartership goals and objectives."

"For me, the most enjoyable part is being able to get involved in lots of different projects across various businesses in SSE. We have such a great opportunity to move around and experience more than one area of the business. "

"I am currently in the process of becoming a chartered engineer, which is a very important qualification for engineers, and I have a mentor who guides me through my chartership application."

"It’s been brilliant to have gained experience working on so many of the huge projects SSE are developing only a year into my professional career"

"SSE are an excellent company with an impressive track record of developing and operating renewable energy generation."

"I ultimately chose SSE because it is acknowledged as a fair and inclusive employer, something that I value highly and I wanted to be a part of SSE's journey in reaching a low carbon future."

"Outside of my current placement, I have a great relationship with the other Graduates, and we do a good job of looking out for each other even though we're usually working on very different projects."

"My graduate role is more on the commercial side, but one for which I am learning a lot plus hands-on experience from day one and all the way enabling me to also appreciate the practical basis of my discipline."
