UK renewable energy and grid infrastructure operator scaling transmission networks
ScottishPower operates critical transmission and distribution infrastructure across the UK while transitioning the energy system toward renewable generation. The hiring surge is engineering-heavy (86 of 158 active roles), concentrated in senior and lead levels, reflecting the capital intensity of major projects like Eastern Green Link 1 and the RIIO-T3 investment programme. The stack reveals a dual operating model: legacy enterprise systems (SAP CRM, SAP ISU, ServiceNow, SCADA) for grid operations and compliance, paired with modern AI/ML tooling (LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, Azure AI Search), suggesting efforts to automate regulatory reporting and workforce planning amid volatile demand forecasting.
