Where you fit in

Shell Trading integrates a worldwide trading network with an unsurpassed global portfolio in crude oil, refined products, natural gas, electrical power, and chemicals and has larger locations in London, Houston, Calgary, Singapore, Dubai, Rotterdam, and Barbados. Shell Trading is one of the world largest energy traders and is a key segment of the Royal Dutch/Shell portfolio.

What's the role?

The UK Power Short Term Trading team forms part of the European Power trading organisation. The Short Term Trader is part of a team which is responsible for supporting the commercial and operational management of SE-EA's (Shell Energy Europe & Africa) power activities in the UK.

The SE-EA power portfolio is an industry leading mix of remotely operated generation assets, flexible renewable generation and algorithmically controlled battery storage assets. The UK Power Short Term Trading Team was the first team ever to control aggregated generation units in the GB's balancing mechanism via the use of algorithms. The team continues to be the market leader in terms of short-term optimisation of physical assets. Your accountabilities include the following:
  • Actively trade power and interconnector capacities in the short-term markets, including day-ahead, intra-day, and balancing markets.
  • Utilize automated trading systems where feasible to respond to market changes instantly.
  • Analyze market trends, regulatory changes, grid stability, interconnector flows, and economic indicators that impact the power and capacity markets across borders.
  • Implement risk management strategies to minimize financial exposure related to power and capacity trades. Continuously monitor positions against market movements and regulatory requirements.
  • Manage bids and offers on interconnector capacities, understanding the dynamics of cross-border energy flows and their impact on power prices.
  • Coordinate with other desks, functions and system operators to align strategies and manage the portfolio's exposure. Participate in market operator forums to stay ahead of industry changes.
  • Produce detailed reports on trading activities, performance metrics, and market conditions. Present findings and strategies to internal stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and contractual customer obligations, including REMIT, the Grid Code and Shell policies.
What we need from you

We hope to see the following:
  • 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
  • In-depth 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 decision-making abilities, capable of performing under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex trading strategies clearly.
  • Self-starter, able to effectively multi-task and prioritise their own workload and the wider team's deliverables
