I chatted with Scottish Power Renewables. It was pretty relaxed, with some technical questions, but mostly a discussion about my CV. I had two meetings with different team members.

You have to wait for the interview call. If you get the call then you have to install Google to give the interview. After you installed it you have practice and then the entire interview. You must be confident in all this process because feeling confident can lose you.

Behavioral Technical

The process started with an online application where I had to answer questions about my recent successes, both work and study-wise. I also had to send in my CV. After that, a phone interview was set up. It was a competency-based interview, and they also asked some technical questions about power engineering, like the UK's electrical grid structure and power losses in transmission lines.
