Junior Trader

Every day we work hard to make our slogan 'sustainable energy for everyone' a reality. With over 2,000 colleagues, we help millions of consumers and many companies switch to sustainable energy with our energy services. We do this with smart, sustainable, and affordable products and services. From generation to trading and from storage to sharing and delivery. We are also one of the largest investors in the development of wind farms, large solar roofs, and heat networks.

Job Description: Intraday Trader

Make short- and long-term energy purchasing decisions. Our team of traders, commercial analysts, and meteorologists ensures there is enough power and gas every day to meet demand at the right price and with low risks. On the trading floor, you are primarily responsible for Eneco's first-line risks. Energy has to be purchased for a customer now, even if you don't know everything exactly. This is an intellectual challenge with a clear proposition: Eneco wants to be climate neutral by 2035.

The Intraday Trading team is responsible for optimizing the results of Eneco within the intraday power market. It is a complex challenge since we have a large and diverse portfolio of customers, sustainable assets, and gas-fired power plants. Our ambition is to get as much renewable energy on the grid as possible, at the lowest possible cost. To facilitate this, we develop state-of-the-art forecasting and optimization models, interactive visualization, and other forms of decision support.

We look for a trader who can make the best buy and sell decisions in the market and steer our assets to the most optimal points. As a trader, you translate market knowledge into profit. You will be working irregular hours and be part of a shift (early morning-evening out of 7 days a week).

You will start in Eneco’s Intraday team where you will develop a vision on European day ahead, intraday, and imbalance power markets. You will share your time between trading and development/optimization.

Responsibilities

• Be responsible for the trading profit/loss, expected to contribute by being highly commercially oriented;
• Optimize the available flexible generation capacity in our portfolio;
• Manage the imbalance exposures of our customers and renewable portfolio within the intraday market;
• Develop and execute profitable trading strategies;
• Be innovative and collaborate with other teams to grow our business.

Qualifications

Entrepreneurship, result-oriented and good people skills are competences that you need to have in order to operate in a dynamically, continuously improving environment. There are plenty of chances and developments in our current market that need to be spotted and acted on. A strong business acumen, i.e., recognizing deals that are the most profitable and having the knowhow to close them, is essential and indispensable.

You also bring in:

• You have a Master's Degree in a STEM subject;
• Meteorological knowledge is a plus;
• You have experience with SQL/Python/Excel/VBA;
• You have an entrepreneurial spirit;
• Previous experience is not a must, entry-position.
