-Online application similar to others for this type of role, CV, covering letter and some basic questions about what you could bring to the role. -Telephone Interview - relatively short (15 mins) telephone interview, mainly competency questions and nothing difficult. -Assessment centre - 3 main parts (interview, analytical exercise and presentation, group exercise). Interview mainly focussed on why Scottish Power, what you could bring to role and competency questions. Analytical exercise on a proposed benefits scheme was simple but the strict time limit added pressure, presented results from the analytical exercise to a small group and answered questions based on the presentation. Group exercise was a discussion with each candidate taking up a role given to them, had to discuss the potential of investing in new technologies. -FInal interview - again questions on what you know about Scottish Power and why you want to work there. Technical questions based mainly on maintenance practices within power stations. Overall the whole experience was good, everyone was nice and helpful however I would say that you should make sure you understand the role you are applying for and where you will be based should you be given an offer, as I feel it wasn't made clear to candidates from the beginning.

Simple application, followed by online tests, classic numerical reasoning mainly. Then onto a video interview which was 2 minutes per answer and recorded, so just talking to the screen. Overall, very standard.
