We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you’ll be doing

As an Originator, you will originate and lead commercial negotiations for short and medium term PPAs across operational low-carbon and renewable assets. You’ll build and maintain trusted relationships with generators, developers and brokers whilst managing end-to-end tender responses and customer engagement, acting as the commercial face of EDF within the PPA market.

Who you are

You will bring energy, initiative and a commercial mindset. This role requires excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once.

You’ll be confident leading negotiations, managing stakeholders and adapting quickly in a competitive landscape. You will have some knowledge of GB energy market, PPAs and renewable generation technologies and good understanding of risk and value.

We’re looking for someone who thrives on building relationships, identifying opportunities and who is driven by delivering outstanding results.
