Full-Time, Permanent. Fully Hybrid role with attendance to offices on business need basis.

Step into a role where your financial insight will help shape the future of low-carbon energy in the UK. As an Investment Analyst at EDF, you’ll be at the heart of Hinkley Point C—one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Europe, delivering analysis that drives strategic decisions and influences stakeholders across government, industry, and beyond.

The Opportunity

At Hinkley Point C (HPC) we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.

This is a commercially focused role for a strategic thinker with strong financial acumen. You’ll work closely with Finance, Supply Chain, and Project Controls teams to optimise performance and maximise returns for stakeholders. Empowered to challenge the business and ensure robust cost information, you’ll support leadership in shaping the financial future of HPC.

Pay, Benefits & Culture

In addition to a competitive salary of £54,000, we offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, and a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle.
We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans. 

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated. 

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.  

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take ownership of the HPC Investment Case Financial Model, ensuring it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with strategic goals. Your work will underpin key reports and analysis required under the Contract for Difference and Shareholder Agreement, helping to meet regulatory and stakeholder obligations.

You’ll collaborate with subject-matter experts to maintain and update financial assumptions, including FX and inflation, and support post-financial close activities such as equity commitments and shareholder alignment. Your analysis will be critical to internal and external stakeholders, including EDF audit teams, EDF SA, CGN, and UK government bodies.

This is a high-impact role in a complex stakeholder environment, where your insights will directly influence strategic investment decisions and contribute to the success of one of the UK’s most important energy projects.

Who You Are

You bring a strong foundation in finance, with a degree in a numerate discipline and an accounting qualification (ACCA, ACA, or CIMA), either fully or partly completed. With over three years’ experience in project finance or investment analysis, you’re confident building and operating complex financial models and understand the intricacies of investment principles, accounting, and tax.

You’re a clear communicator, able to present confidently to senior stakeholders and collaborate across disciplines. Detail-oriented and deadline-driven, you thrive in dynamic environments and approach challenges with creativity and strategic thinking. Your advanced Excel skills and ability to adapt make you a valuable asset to any team.
