SSEN Transmission is experiencing significant growth driven by the need to connect considerable volumes of renewable generation onto our network to facilitate the pathway to Net Zero. Our regulation team is crucial in developing and delivering transmission infrastructure in the North of Scotland.

As a Senior Analyst in the Regulation Team, you will help the wider SSEN Transmission business understand the opportunities and barriers to delivering projects, new services, and consumer outcomes by translating existing policies and regulations and identifying upcoming reforms. You will be working closely with senior stakeholders across the business to achieve these outcomes and goals.
