Job description

Ready to lead finance excellence at one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects? Want to shape the future of nuclear energy and help Britain achieve net zero? At EDF, Success is Personal – and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.

The Opportunity

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