The role

To reach net zero by 2030, we're looking for people who can bring big ideas, new skills and innovative thinking to help us build a world that's more sustainable and inclusive for you, your family and the community you live in for generations to come.

SSEN Transmission has a fantastic opportunity for an analyst to join the portfolio function of our Investment Appraisal and Analysis team and play a key role in delivering long term forecast projections for key strategic net zero activity in the north of Scotland. This role will play a pivotal part in the tracking of our RIIO-T2 performance and play a key role in developing the reporting structure for RIIO-T3.

RIIO stands for 'Revenue = Incentives + Innovation + Outputs' and is the framework applied by Ofgem, the industry regulator, to ensure individual network companies like SSEN Transmission provide a safe and reliable service at a fair price to consumers.

So join us on our journey to net zero. Help us power change.

You will

- Contribute to SSEN Transmission's strategic thinking on the transition to net-zero by supporting the analysis of business performance against regulatory deliverables and playing a key role in delivering long term forecast projections.

- Support the completion of regulatory submissions and the associated interface with the regulator, which will involve extensive engagement with technical, financial and engineering specialists.

- Implement and manage business processes to enable business-wide reporting of key regulatory metrics relating to the RIIO-T2 price control.

- Become a business focal point of contact for the Investment Appraisal and Analysis data hub.

- Lead the production of issue-specific RIIO portfolio related reports and communications (i.e. annual reports and internal project-specific commercial reporting). 

You have

- A proactive and innovative working approach and positive influencing skills with the ability to find answers within a diverse, engineering-focused organisation.

- Knowledge of the electricity industry and the challenges associated with the journey to net-zero.

- Advanced research and analytical skills, both quantitative and qualitative, and data modelling experience are essential.

- The ability to handle and analyse large quantities of data and experience in establishing, communicating and presenting well-reasoned conclusions, proposals and recommendations based upon multiple data sources to Senior Management is essential.

- A degree level qualification in a finance/mathematical/economics discipline, or relevant experience.
