What is the Role? 

As a Land graduate joining SSEN Transmission, you will follow a specialist pathway.

Working as part of our multi-disciplined Land team, we have the opportunity for a recent or upcoming graduate to join our graduate programme and gain the knowledge and experience needed to work towards an Assistant Land Manager position.

At SSEN Transmission, we are currently working on a number of high-profile transmission projects which are ensuring our transmission network is able to transmit clean renewable energy whilst being safe, efficient, and structurally sound, therefore providing sustainable and reliable energy to all. 

SSEN Transmission are looking for Graduate Land Managers to help secure the land rights required to build and maintain overhead lines, underground cables and substations needed to meet the UK government’s 2030 net zero targets. The work will essentially be that of a trainee land agent. A typical day will involve working within busy project teams, liaising with landowners and occupiers over proposed route and site selection for infrastructure schemes, assessing the impact of the proposed infrastructure over rural land and businesses, agreeing accommodation works, carrying out valuations and assessing compensation claims, and negotiating a range of rights over land and property such as wayleaves and options for servitudes or land purchase.

Stakeholder engagement is an important element of this role, and you will have an opportunity to learn from a wide array of stakeholders, both internal and external. You will develop and maintain positive working relationships with stakeholders in relation to policy over land and property rights, access and management of land, securing and maintaining rights in land and dealing with matters of valuation and compensation. 

The main stakeholder groups include SSEN Transmission project team members, landowners, tenants, their agents and relevant bodies such as local authorities, the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit, Forestry and Land Scotland, and local planning authorities. 

You will be supported in your role with a placement plan, regular meetings with your line manager and networking with key business leaders through quarterly placement reviews. You will have the opportunity to enter into the RICS APC and CAAV training programmes, with dedicated support from other RICS and CAAV members within the SSE business.

What do I need to join? 

You will have a minimum of a 2:2 bachelor's degree in Land Management, Real Estate Management, or Rural Surveying. This should be an RICS accredited degree in order to progress the RICS APC and/or gain professional membership into the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers.

We'd love you to have some practical work experience that reflects your passion for the energy sector, as well as demonstrable experience of working in a team. You'll also be comfortable working to and setting stretching individual targets and using your own initiative to overcome challenges and should have a genuine interest in SSEN Transmission and the prospect of a long-term future with us.
