Early Career

At school, Ross was always interested in maths and physics. His early interest in engineering was demonstrated by his opening machines up to see what was inside. Ross studied electrical and electronic engineering at Heriot-Watt University, a prestigious university for business and industry in Edinburgh. In his final year, he did a summer placement at Longannet, a coal-fired power station. After completing his degree, he applied for the graduate programme at ScottishPower. He’s been working in generation ever since.
