Analyst – Transmission Securities and Charges
Location: Newcastle or Castleford
Directorate: Energy Systems
Job Ref No: R6665
Help shape the grid of the future – and build your career in the energy transition.
Are you looking to step into the fast-moving world of low-carbon energy and play a meaningful role in the UK's journey to net zero? Do you bring a sharp eye for detail, strong financial/process discipline, and a desire to understand how the electricity network works behind the scenes?
At Northern Powergrid, we're delivering a smarter, more flexible electricity network that will enable millions of customers to decarbonise – and we need people like you to help us do it.
We're looking for an Analyst to join our Transmission Interface team, part of our Distribution System Operation (DSO) function. You'll help manage the commercial and financial arrangements between Northern Powergrid and key national transmission bodies (like National Grid ESO), as we enable major projects – such as new grid connections – to move forward smoothly and compliantly.
You'll be at the commercial crossroads between customer projects and the wider transmission system, ensuring that charges and securities are handled correctly, and that risk is minimised as we build the grid of the future.
What's the package?
Along with a competitive salary of between
£34,344 - £39,671
, we also offer great benefits such as:
* Enrolment into our generous pension scheme
* 25 days holiday (rising with service) plus bank holidays
* Excellent opportunities for career growth
* Agile working arrangements (80/20 in office)
What will you do?
* Operate key financial processes to collect, hold, and return customer securities for transmission works.
* Monitor and report on commercial risks and financial obligations associated with these projects.
* Run regular (six-monthly) processes to review cancellation charges, issue invoices, and update customer records.
* Produce clear reports and dashboards to track compliance and demonstrate audit readiness.
* Support broader team activities, helping to deliver positive outcomes for customers navigating the grid connection process.
Who This Role Could Suit
* Someone with credit control, billing, finance ops or commercial admin experience in regulated industries (utilities, infrastructure, telecoms, rail).
* A recent graduate or junior analyst who wants to build experience in the energy sector and grow into a more commercial, regulatory, or technical role.
* A detail-oriented and reliable team player who thrives on process improvement and understands the value of good governance.
What You'll Bring
* Strong organisational and analytical skills – you spot risks early and communicate them clearly.
* Good Excel and data presentation/reporting skills.
* Experience with financial transactions or billing processes (ERP or finance systems knowledge a plus).
* An interest in the energy sector and the role of electricity networks in decarbonisation.
What qualifications and experience should you have?
* Achieved 2 A-Levels C or above, or NVQ Level 3, or ONC in Business Management.
* Familiarity with regulated utility environments is a bonus, but not essential – full training will be provided.
