  • Provide pre-trade analysis, scenario modelling, and price forecasts.
  • Identify opportunities across compliance markets, and in related markets (power, gas, fuels).
• Market Intelligence & Policy Analysis

• Modelling & Analytical Tools

Is this about you?

• A Master’s or PhD in a quantitative discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in carbon market analysis in a trading environment, an energy company, a hedge fund or a market research company.

This is where you’ll work

You’ll join the Trading Analysis Team, a front-desk analytical team which works alongside traders on our trading desk. The desk is responsible for trading carbon, gas, and power from day-ahead up to several years ahead, using both physical and financial instruments. The team provides the analytical backbone of the desk.

Your primary focus will be the European exchange traded carbon markets (EUA, UKA), but you’ll collaborate closely with colleagues covering power and gas. The environment is international, high-paced, and collaborative — bringing together talent from diverse academic and professional backgrounds.

• You are situated at the heart of Eneco, right between production, sales, and trading.
• You work on complex and analytical challenges in the dynamic energy market.
• You’ll help Eneco navigate volatility, risk, and opportunity in the evolving carbon market.
