If you’re ready to influence strategic decisions and drive financial performance in a dynamic, high-impact environment, this could be your next big move.

As a Senior Finance Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of HPC’s financial operations, supporting the Financial Control Manager and working closely with programme and functional leads. You’ll help ensure robust financial governance, deliver insightful analysis, and empower stakeholders to make informed decisions. Based in our Bridgwater Satellite Office (minimum three days a week), you’ll collaborate across finance, commercial, and project control teams to drive performance and accountability.

Your role will be instrumental in maintaining financial control and transparency across one of the UK’s largest infrastructure investments. You’ll be empowered to challenge assumptions, identify cost-saving opportunities, and contribute to the continuous improvement of financial processes, all while supporting the delivery of a project that’s shaping the future of energy.

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 be a trusted partner to the Financial Control Manager, providing strategic financial insight and supporting internal and external stakeholders with clear, actionable commentary. Your work will help ensure financial decisions are grounded in robust analysis and aligned with project goals.

You’ll review budgets, forecasts, and performance metrics, challenging assumptions and identifying risks and opportunities. Your focus on value for money will help drive cost efficiencies and ensure financial plans are both realistic and effective.

From cash forecasting and audit support to coaching teams on financial best practices, you’ll play a key role in embedding a culture of financial excellence. You’ll also step in as deputy for the Financial Control Manager when needed, ensuring continuity and confidence in financial operations.

Who You Are
