About the Role
Are you ready to use your forecasting expertise to shape decisions that drive commercial performance across a dynamic energy portfolio? Keen to make sure your analytical expertise has real impact? At EDF, we believe Success is Personal – your journey matters as much as ours. Join us and help power better outcomes for the business that shape the future.
The Opportunity
This role sits within our Business and Wholesale Services (BWS) function, where we are at the commercial core of the business. The Volume Forecasting team is responsible for producing electricity and gas demand forecasts for our retail and business customers, as well as generation forecasts across one of the UK’s largest Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) portfolios.
As an Analyst or Senior Analyst in our team, you will develop and enhance forecasting models that directly influence hedging decisions, trading strategy and portfolio risk management. You will maintain and improve generation forecasting models, ensuring forecast accuracy while identifying opportunities to reduce balancing costs and improve commercial outcomes. Your work will support business-critical operations and enable informed decision-making across Trading, Risk and Finance.
You will also contribute to technical improvements, system development and data quality initiatives that strengthen forecasting capability and operational resilience.
Our team is based in London, but we encourage hybrid working, giving you the freedom to work from home and meet with your team and stakeholders when required.
Who You Are
We’re looking for an analytically strong team member who understands that forecasting is not just about accuracy, it’s about protecting margin, managing risk and enabling better commercial decisions. Joining us means being comfortable working in a complex, data-rich environment, able to translate modelling outputs into insight that stakeholders can act on. You’ll work independently, take ownership of delivery and continuously seek improvement.
What you’ll bring:
- Degree in a numerate discipline or equivalent experience
- Strong coding capability (Python or R desirable)
- Solid analytical mindset and comfortable working with structured datasets
- Ability to work independently and manage deliverables under minimal supervision
- Clear and open communication style
At the Senior Analyst Level, you’ll also have:
- Strong modelling experience including time series analysis, statistical or machine learning techniques
- Experience designing or materially enhancing forecasting models
- Familiarity with cloud technologies (e.g. Snowflake, AWS)
- Greater autonomy in leading technical initiatives and influencing model direction
- Knowledge of UK energy markets, notably for renewable PPAs
What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing, maintaining and enhancing forecasting models for renewable generation output
- Analysing forecast performance and identify improvement opportunities to reduce cost and manage risk exposure
- Running business-critical operational processes, ensuring forecasts are delivered accurately and on time
- Leading or contributing to technical projects including model improvements, system enhancements and data migration
- Improving data quality and integrity across forecasting processes
- Collaborating with stakeholders across Trading, Risk, Finance and wider BWS teams
- Responding to stakeholder queries, providing clear and commercially meaningful insight into forecast performance
- Contributing to development of new forecasting capability that supports evolving market and product requirements.
Pay, Benefits and Culture
The salary for this role is circa £57,600 per annum (dependent on experience, as we are also keen to hear from those ready to develop in their next role), with the potential for an annual bonus and access to a market-leading pension scheme. Your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
At EDF, we believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we offer you the freedom to develop a career that’s unique to you. Here, Success is Personal – it’s your journey, powered by us.
