Because EDF is one of the largest energy companies in the UK, the opportunities for finance professionals to grow their skill set and build a successful career exist in abundance.
Meet EDF’s Wholesale Markets Optimisation team: the Analysts, Traders, Software Engineers and energy experts helping Britain achieve Net Zero.
Wholesale Markets Optimisation is at the commercial heart of EDF’s Customers and Generation business units.
I'm responsible for updating the Risk Mandate, which describes EDF’s trading strategies; reviewing our risk control framework and reviewing business proposals to ensure that markets risks have been adequately assessed.
EDF has great values and its focus on a low carbon future attracted me to the company.
The rotational nature of the Finance graduate programme enables me to work in different business areas, increasing my professional network and offering a breadth of experience, with the added bonus of pursuing my CIMA qualification!
What projects could I work on at EDF?
Sizewell C

The SZC Project Team is a growing, diverse and collaborative organisation committed to engaging stakeholders, obtaining development consent and preparing the project for the start of construction.
