We are looking to recruit a number of solicitors across different disciplines to support ScottishPower’s business to deliver a record number of green energy infrastructure projects, all of which are integral to delivering the UK’s ambitious Net Zero targets. Due to an exciting period of growth, we are looking to recruit solicitors to join our legal team based in our Glasgow HQ. 

Working in our Strategic Projects and Transactions Legal team, you will be working on all corporate legal matters across the business of ScottishPower.
