SSE 2025 Graduate Programmes

Great! I asked them about reimburse, they said it’s on case by case basis :/ , which role did you apply to

I had my assessment centre for thermal today and wanted to pop in and give everyone an idea (specially for those of us who are very anxious..like me).
It starts with an introduction, everyone introduces themselves and there’s some time for any initial questions. Then we move on to a group exercise, it’s a typical consulting exercise - you can find examples on the stuff EY/pwc use and it’s the same format. There is no final presentation and we move on to the interview.
The interview is 2 on 1, and they’ll ask about your motivation and if you go up to the key competencies in the job description, they’ll ask about some of those. We weren’t asked any technical questions. Interviewers will take turns asking questions and may ask follow ups/clarification.
Hope this helps any future candidates!!!

Probably too early to ask but has anyone heard back after the AC on the 6th or 30th? I can’t remember any mention of timescales at the end….

Although I seen that non-engineering related people (those who attended the 6th), in particular the Consents and Environment team have heard back today.

Did mine on the 6th too (project management) didn’t hear back yet. They will probably take a week or two Ig.

a bit crazy but last week when I attended the AC, the interviewers told me that they are going to hire maximum 2 graduates for their programme... I have a friend who is currently working in SSE and he joins sse since 2023. He told me that in 2023 the company hired ~30 graduates in his selected programme...

Had a really weird experience with SSE, I was of the impression that they offered sponsorship they initially called the Monday after the AC to ask about my sponsorship situation and I explained that I would need to be sponsored after the program but I would be happy to use my graduate visa for the duration of the graduate program. The nice lady on the call was really insistent on asking if I had any other visa to fall back on after the graduate one expires, at some point I felt pressured despite knowing there is no other visa I would so I politely told her I would clearly need to be sponsored. Got a rejection today with the explanation that I had huge potential and would have went ahead were it not for the visa issue. Any one else this issue? Were they not sponsoring after the program? I am baffled. Too long sorry😂

It was capital delivery role and the AC was on 6th Feb. I asked and they did actually sponsor for graduate roles last year not sure what changed.

Maybe salary threshold
