I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SSE (Glasgow, Scotland) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview process focused heavily on core industry awareness and technical alignment with SSEN Transmission’s net-zero infrastructure goals. It involved deep behavioral and competency-based questions evaluated through the STAR method, specifically testing structural problem-solving, project scheduling, risk escalation, quality control, and cross-functional team leadership.
