The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SSE (Reading, England) in Mar 2023
Interview
Process was scant. Interviewed by someone who was clueless and clearly never working on projects before. Disappointing experience. They asked lots and lots and lots of silly and pointless questions. Didn't know the difference between Agile and Waterfall and just kept making it up as they went. It was embarrassing.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SSE (Livingston, Scotland) in Apr 2026
Interview
Great communication from the recruitment team.
I was given a screening phone call initially followed by an in person interview with a task.
It went well and communication throughout was to the point, with efficient notice and explanation of expectations.

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.

Question 1
Why do you want to work for SSEN Transmission in a Project Management role?
Initial interview then longer one with presentation. Process worked well for bookings etc and staff I met were very friendly and professional. It was a good experience overall with a bit of a delay hearing result.
