Job Description

Financial Analyst – Power Generation

$70,000–$80,000 + 12% Bonus | Career Growth | High-Impact Role

SE Montana (On-Site)

Regional candidates encouraged to apply: Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota & South Dakota.

Looking for more than another spreadsheet job?

This is an opportunity to become a trusted business partner at one of the region's largest power generation facilities. You'll work directly with plant leadership and ownership, helping shape financial strategy while learning the operational side of a complex industrial facility.

If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving business problems, thrive in Excel, and have the confidence to present to executive stakeholders, this role offers outstanding career growth.

What You'll Do

  • Build, maintain, and improve financial models that support plant operations and business strategy
  • Analyze financial, operational, and budget data to help leadership make informed decisions
  • Prepare reports and presentations for plant management and ownership groups
  • Learn the business from the inside out, including plant operations, maintenance, projects, and budgeting
  • Partner with internal teams to identify process improvements and financial solutions
  • Present financial strategies and business recommendations to stakeholders
  • Help strengthen relationships between plant leadership and ownership through accurate reporting and communication

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related field
  • 2+ years of financial analysis experience preferred (recent graduates with exceptional internships or relevant experience are encouraged to apply)
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
  • Experience with financial modeling and data analysis
  • Strong presentation and communication skills
  • Someone who enjoys learning complex operations—not just analyzing numbers
  • Comfortable presenting information to executive leadership and diverse stakeholder groups
  • Self-motivated, analytical, and eager to grow

Preferred Qualifications

  • Dual degree or coursework in Finance, Accounting, or Business Management
  • Experience working with budgets, forecasting, or operational analytics
  • Background in manufacturing, industrial operations, utilities, engineering, or energy is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • $70,000–$80,000 base salary
  • 12% Short-Term Incentive Bonus
  • Outstanding benefits package, generous relocation  
  • Long-term career advancement opportunities
  • Exposure to executive leadership and ownership groups
  • Opportunity to develop both financial and operational expertise

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't a back-office analyst position.

You'll become a key business partner, gain exposure to executive leadership, develop a deep understanding of power plant operations, and help influence strategic decisions that impact the business. It's an excellent opportunity for an ambitious analyst looking to accelerate their career into business leadership.
