  • Deliver additional value through the optimisation of flexible assets in the short-term market.
  • Trade changing forecasts of our PPA portfolio.
  • Design and feedback ideas for improvements in the analytics suite, as well as share trading strategy ideas with the team.
  • Help build and design algorithmic trading strategies.
  • Liaise with the Trading Manager to ensure short-term exposure risks are understood across the business.
Requirements:
  • Experience in Commodity Trading or a similar field - ideally 1+ years experience.
  • A passion for decarbonisation and grid flexibility as the enabler for it.
  • Ability to synthesise numerical information and make informed decisions quickly.
  • Eagerness to learn the fundamental drivers of the power market and become a top-performing trader within the market.
  • A hunger to perform in a fast-paced and competitive market.
  • An ability to maintain continued attention to the market, even in times of low market volatility.
  • Happy to undertake shift work, including frequent nights and weekends.
