The Opportunity

As Senior Cash Management and Project Reporting Accountant, you will be at the centre of HPC's financial operations. You will take ownership of front‑office transaction activity, from preparing cash‑flow forecasts to supporting day‑to‑day Senior Cash Management and financing arrangements.

You will work in a hybrid pattern based at Atlantic Quay, with the flexibility to work from home while spending at least two days a week on site to stay close to the teams and activities you support. You will manage key relationships with internal and external stakeholders, providing accurate information to investors to secure agreement on equity funding essential to the project’s continuation and strategically assess cash balances to ensure they align with the conditions of the shareholder agreement. You will safeguard the integrity of the cash environment—processes, procedures and data—while driving improvements across Senior Cash Management and special‑projects activities to ensure best practice. You will also be responsible for any special ad‑hoc projects that arise and contribute to the evolving needs of HPC companies and projects. This role gives you the chance to influence the financial heartbeat of a project that is critical to the UK’s future, refining processes and enhancing systems and banking platforms in partnership with EDF Energy Treasury.

What You’ll Be Doing

Why Join Us?

For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fueled with massive amounts of home‑grown energy. Our teams across the country are proud to continue serving the nation while keeping an eye on the future. EDF is leading the UK’s nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new station at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Nuclear power is the most reliable, low‑carbon energy source currently available in the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low‑carbon electricity to meet 7% of UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education. We’re not just building new nuclear power stations. We’re developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skill areas. It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and, although we have thousands of them, there’s always a need for more. Our industry has a mind‑boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it’s also an industry that is changing. We’re a responsible business and proud to be Britain’s biggest generator of zero‑carbon electricity. With our size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more.
