  • Extensive experience as a trader in GB power markets, with specific expertise in speculative trading and interconnector capacity trading.
  • Proven track record for spec trading at short term power markets
  • Indepth knowledge of the UK and European energy markets, understanding key market drivers and trading regulations.
  • Strong quantitative skills, with proficiency in sophisticated trading and analytical platforms.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Excellent decisionmaking abilities, capable of performing under pressure in a fastpaced environment.
