What is the Role? 

As a Land graduate joining SSEN Transmission, you will follow a specialist pathway. Specialists will work with experts in their specialism, gaining exposure within a business area for the duration of their graduate programme with the aim of providing experience that will lead to a substantive post.

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.

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.
