Investment Finance Analyst

Description:

SSE has big ambitions to be a leading energy company in a low carbon world. Following our commitment to invest £12.5 billion in low carbon projects over the next 5 years, we have significant growth plans and are well on our way to achieving our ambition to build a world that's more sustainable and inclusive for you, your family, the community you live in and for generations to come.

Base Location: Flexible, however our preference is that you will be based in one of our key UK or Ireland sites, which includes but is not limited to: - Glasgow, Perth, Aberdeen, Inverness, Reading, Havant, London or Dublin

This role will be responsible for supporting the financial aspects of the Transmission Capital Investment programme at an exciting time of growth within the industry. As a natural monopoly, our Transmission business is subject to regulatory oversight by the industry regulator, Ofgem. As such we have a ‘Regulatory Contract’ (referred often to as a Regulatory Licence) in which we are required to comply with a number of obligations and underpins our financial and business performance drivers.

We are currently in the second year of this 5-year price control for Electricity Transmission (RIIO-T2). We have a long-term plan to take the business forward as we look towards RIIO-T3 and deliver our RIIO-T2 commitments to support the overall Group. We are on course to invest over £4bn in our RIIO-T2 period. This is part of delivering an ambitious 5-year business plan that will continue to support the transition to a low carbon energy world for the UK and the pathway to net zero emissions by 2050.

You will support the Transmission Capital Investment programme working closely as part of a small team with Transmission Investment Finance Managers and Accountants and other key internal stakeholders. This requires significant financial discipline to underpin decision making and drive value and efficiency. The need to understand the nature of our regulatory obligations under our RIIO price controls is necessary to succeed in this role.
