Description du poste

Kickstart your power trading career while studying — and get real responsibility close to a live trading desk.

We are looking for a Student Power Trader to join our intraday trading team, primarily helping cover weeknights and weekends.

The role

As a Student Power Trader, you will become an active part of the trading desk and gradually take on responsibility for live market coverage during evenings and weekends.

You will work closely with experienced traders, learn how short-term power markets move, and help identify the data, events and signals that explain price changes.

Your responsibilities

Learn from the desk

Shadow experienced traders, learn our decision-making frameworks, and build hands‑on understanding of intraday and short-term power trading.

After training, help manage live market coverage during evening and weekend hours while staying aligned with the team’s risk framework.

Explore power markets

Learn how weather, production, consumption, interconnector flows, liquidity and market events affect European power prices.

Think analytically

Investigate market moves, formulate hypotheses, and use data to understand why prices behave the way they do.

Work with tools & data

Suggest, test or prototype tools that help capture observations, validate ideas and support trading decisions.

Learn how we manage positions, monitor exposure, evaluate P&L drivers, and make decisions under uncertainty.

What we are looking for

You do not need to know power trading already. You should be motivated by markets, data and fast‑moving decision‑making.

• Academic background: You are studying Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science or a related field.
• Interest in markets: You are curious about trading, price movements, energy markets and how information turns into decisions.
• Analytical mindset: You are comfortable working with numbers, charts and data — and enjoy asking why something happened.
• Curiosity and initiative: You like exploring new data sources, testing ideas and learning new tools.
• Responsibility and calmness: You can stay focused, communicate clearly and follow risk guidelines.
• Team player: You are humble, helpful, curious and eager to contribute.

Nice to have

It is a plus, but not a requirement, if you have experience with Python, data analysis, statistics, machine learning, energy markets, Excel, SQL or dashboarding tools.

What we offer

• Real desk experience close to live trading decisions.
• Meaningful responsibility where your work can influence decisions over time.
• Mentorship from experienced traders and quantitative profiles.
• Flexible student schedule of around 20–25 hours per week.
• A small, ambitious team with a flat structure and open discussions.
• A strong learning environment across power markets, trading, risk and data.
