Credit Analyst, Utilities and Transport

As a member of the EMEA Utilities and Transport team, you will take lead analytical responsibility for a varied portfolio of corporate issuers in both sectors. You will monitor news and results flow to identify events or trends which may lead to rating changes. You will conduct meetings with and analyse the creditworthiness of issuers in the sector.

You will also present to and discuss recommendations for new ratings or rating changes with a rating committee and communicate Fitch’s credit opinions externally. You will participate in, and ideally initiate, ad-hoc sector commentaries and topical research. The role will also involve some analytical support to business development activities, interaction with issuers, investors and bankers. It will entail some travel.

The current portfolio envisaged comprises around 15 entities, focused on Poland and CEE, but with element of coverage in the rest of EMEA. Knowledge of one additional European language (next to English) will be helpful but is not essential. Work will be split between both utilities and transport credits.

The successful candidate will report to the senior director based in Warsaw.
