The Generation business has commercial responsibility for a large portfolio of fossil fuelled power generation and cogen plant.
Within the Commercial Asset Management function the Planning and Optimisation team are looking to bring on a Senior Modeller.

They will be responsible for developing and maintaining models to quantify the impact of decisions affecting the value and risk of the generation portfolio. They will develop and maintain effective risk management tools to assist in identifying and managing the risks in the Generation business (e.g. hedge policy, station reliability and environmental risks). This will involve carrying out quantitative and qualitative analysis to support decision making.
Candidates will have a strong background in Quantitative Modelling within the Power/Financial sector. This will involve excellent spreadsheet modelling skills and experience using VBA, Matlab, Risk etc. They will also have a broad appreciation of the power generation business.
