Financial Analyst | Wellington Electricity

Own the numbers. Influence the decisions behind them.

Wellington Electricity delivers electricity to over 176,000 homes and businesses across the capital. Behind that reliability is smart, disciplined decision-making. And that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Financial Analyst who builds financial models, tests the underlying assumptions, and helps inform decisions on what the business does next.

This is a 12-month fixed-term role working directly with the CFO, senior leaders, and a major regulatory programme (the Customised Price Path or CPP).

What You’ll Own

• Own and operate end-to-end financial forecasting across budgets, reforecasts, and long-term plans

• Building and maintaining integrated financial models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cashflow)

• Scenario modelling, sensitivity analysis, and forecast accuracy improvement

• Translating complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights

• Financial inputs into CAPEX business cases and investment decisions

• Preparing structured financial outputs for the CPP regulatory submission

And critically:

• Supporting CAPEX investment decisions and business cases with robust financial insight

• Preparing and translating financial data for CPP and regulatory submissions

• Ensuring outputs are accurate, structured, and defensible for Board and regulatory use

• Aligning financial forecasts with real delivery assumptions, risks, and constraints

• Identifying trends, variances, and performance drivers — and calling them out early

• Working across systems and datasets (SAP, Power BI, etc.) to ensure data is reliable and fit for purpose

Key Projects

• CPP & Regulatory Investment Case
  Working with Wellington Electricity’s regulatory advisors to operate financial models supporting the CPP, translating historical performance and long-term forecasts into a defensible submission that shapes future pricing and investment.

• Network Investment & Programme Performance
  Supporting CAPEX decisions through modelling, forecasting, and performance analysis, providing insight into cost, timing, and delivery risks across the network.

You will love this role because:

• You build and operate the financial models the business relies on

• You stress-test assumptions and challenge thinking

• You can influence long-term planning and investment

• You will develop an understanding of the value drivers for Wellington Electricity’s business operations

• You play a key role in a business-critical regulatory programme

What You Will Bring

• At least five years experience in financial analysis and forecasting integrated P&L, balance sheet and cashflow.

• Strong financial modelling capability (you’re comfortable building from the ground up)

• Ability to work with large datasets and identify trends, risks, and drivers

• Confidence explaining numbers to non-financial stakeholders

• Exposure to infrastructure, utilities, or regulated environments is a bonus

• Experience with tools like Power BI, SAP, or similar is advantageous
