Fuel Accounting Placement at Drax Power Station

Where: England - North Yorkshire

Deadline: February 4, 2019

Type: Placement Year

About the Company:

Main business: : Energy and utilities

Drax Group plc is playing a vital role in helping change the way energy is generated, supplied and used as the UK moves to a low carbon future. Having successfully upgraded the UK’s biggest power station through innovative engineering, we are now a predominantly biomass-fuelled generator. 70% of the electricity we produce – enough to power Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and Liverpool – is now made using compressed wood pellets rather than coal. We are responsible for generating 7% of the UK’s electricity.

We self-supply 15% of the wood pellets we use from sustainably managed working forests through our US operations, Drax Biomass. By providing inspiring, flexible energy solutions that make a difference to customers, a substantial part of the power we generate is sold directly to large businesses and SMEs in the UK, through our retail division, including Opus Energy and Haven Power.

About the Role:

If you are studying a finance, maths, business or economics (or related) degree, fascinated by finance and business, then a placement within the Fuel Accounting team is for you. Working closely with our Fuel Accountants, this is a management accounting position where you will be an integral part in the financial management of our fuel portfolio, with your own responsibilities and accountability for your work. You will be getting involved with an array of tasks ranging from month end journals, forecasting and FX exposure reporting. Your career is personal to you, but at Drax you can learn the skills you need as you decide where to take it.
