The Opportunity
Are you looking for a career which is rewarding, at the cutting edge of project development and where you can really make a difference? Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) team and work on one of the most exciting and largest megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy.
Following on from the success of Hinkley Point C (HPC), the Sizewell C Project is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk, which has obtained planning approval and Government financing support. The project has started construction and is now seeking private investment. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
Join our project as a Credit Risk Analyst!
Our team supports all business and supply chain teams. We vary the detail of credit risk assessment based on the size of the deal involved. We are looking for a Credit Risk Analyst to support the Senior Credit Risk Manager to proactively manage, measure, monitor and mitigate credit risk. As well as establishing and implementing the enhancements to the process reflective of the volume and complexity of contracts in a major infrastructure project in delivery phase.
The Role
The purpose of the Credit Risk Analyst roles are to support the business function in ensuring all credit risks faced by Sizewell C are measured, monitored and protected effectively, whilst maintaining stakeholder relations.
A key requirement of this role is the ability to weigh-up multiple data sources to arrive at a decision, then be able to clearly explain your reasoning. This will involve looking across various credit scores, payment behaviour and news searches and applying commercial awareness related to business sectors, the economic climate and product/service demand.
The role requires working with a variety of different stakeholders: Sales, Collection and Supply Chain teams, along with colleagues in Finance.
What we’re looking for…
As the Credit Risk Analyst you’ll be analytical, but also have soft skills to engage empathetically with the teams we support. A critical thinker with a problem-solving skillset and ability to handle detailed processes, dealing with complexity in a calm and logical manner. Whilst also being able to establish and maintain effective internal and external business relationships with key stakeholders, with capable communication and negotiating skills.
You’ll have a keen and diligent approach to learning new skills and processes, as well as having an interest in growing a wide understanding of how small, medium and large businesses operate, and how we spot when things aren’t quite right.
Having an ambition to gain expert knowledge in credit risk, learning from colleagues. If you have a good understanding of the UK energy markets and the EDF customer base this would be advantageous.
The Skills
- Expertise in credit risk methodologies, management, and financial statement analysis.
- Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to assess complex contractual and credit risk issues; experience in construction or supply chain preferred.
- Proficient in financial modelling, scenario analysis, stress testing, and projections.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and leadership skills, adaptable to financial and non-financial audiences, including directors.
- Strong relationship-building skills with the ability to challenge experienced professionals.
- Adaptable, resilient, and able to manage multiple priorities under pressure.
- Motivated self-starter and team player, committed to continuous learning.
- Highly organised with strong time management and attention to detail.
- Operates with integrity and confidentiality.
Desirable
- Previous knowledge of commercial and contractual credit risk mitigants, highly preferred
