The role supports senior stakeholders by maintaining and evolving regulatory financial models, delivering performance insight against price controls, and supporting scenario analysis linked to revenue recovery, incentives and capital investment.

Produce performance reporting against regulatory allowances, incentives and output measures
Support revenue forecasting and recovery analysis, including regulatory charging and income mechanisms

Experience within a regulated utilities or infrastructure environment (energy, gas, electricity, water, transport or similar)

Core Skillset
Strong FP&A / performance reporting capability
Experience with financial modelling and scenario analysis
Understanding of capex, totex and regulatory asset bases
Ability to interpret and challenge regulatory and operational data
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and evolving regulatory environments
Qualifications

What This Role Is Not
A pure statutory / IFRS reporting role
A narrow technical accounting position
A back-office compliance role
This is a commercial, performance-led regulatory finance role with real influence.
