Job at SSE in Portsmouth, Portsmouth

Are you an experienced Electrical Fitter looking to power your career with a leading energy company? This permanent, full-time opportunity with SSE offers a chance to be at the forefront of the electricity network's maintenance and safe operation, contributing to a cleaner, more secure future for millions.

SSE is on a mission to be a leading energy company in a net-zero world, investing significantly in homegrown energy and green infrastructure. As part of SSEN Distribution, you'll be instrumental in maintaining the vital electricity network that powers communities across central southern England and the North of Scotland.

Key Advantages for Candidates:

  • Attractive Salary & Progression: The base salary of £34,749 - £40,939 is complemented by opportunities for higher earnings. With additional authorisations, such as SAP PTW at SS05, SS06, and SS07 levels, salaries can rise significantly, up to £57,728, rewarding your expertise and qualifications.
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: SSE understands the importance of work-life balance and employee wellbeing. You'll receive full PPE and tools, access to a company van, and extensive training provided by SSE. Beyond this, a range of benefits support your family, finances, and overall wellbeing, including discounts on private healthcare and gym memberships, a free online GP, 24/7 counselling, and interest-free loans for tech and transport. Generous family entitlements, including maternity and adoption pay, and paternity leave are also part of the package.
  • Professional Development: SSE is committed to your growth. The company provides training to enhance your skills and authorisations, offering a clear path for career advancement within a forward-thinking organisation.
  • Impactful Work: You'll play an active role in maintaining and repairing the electricity network, ensuring a safe and reliable supply for millions of homes and businesses. This role directly contributes to SSE's ambitious goals for a low-carbon future.
  • Team and Stakeholder Engagement: This position offers valuable experience in collaborating with a skilled team and engaging professionally with internal and external stakeholders, including the National Grid and power stations, enhancing your communication and representation skills.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Location Flexibility: This role offers a choice of base locations in Portsmouth, Basingstoke, or Aldershot, providing flexibility in your daily commute.
  • Essential Skills and Experience: While previous experience as an Electrical Fitter (particularly across 11kV and 33kV) and authorisations to work on the electrical distribution network are advantageous, a strong mechanical or electrical background with a high regard for safety is also valued.
  • Safety-First Approach: An unwavering commitment to safety is paramount. You will be expected to strictly adhere to all SSE policies and procedures, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the network.
  • Customer-Facing Responsibilities: The role involves direct interaction with customers, requiring excellent communication and customer service skills to address any issues face-to-face.
  • Driving Licence Requirement: A full UK driving licence is a mandatory requirement for this position, essential for mobility across the network.
  • Onsite Work: This is an onsite, permanent, full-time role, requiring your consistent presence at the designated work locations.

This opportunity is ideal for individuals seeking a stable and rewarding career in the essential energy sector. If you possess a strong work ethic, a dedication to safety, and a desire to contribute to a sustainable future, this role with SSE could be the perfect next step in your professional journey.
