Are you fascinated by the energy markets? Do you enjoy challenging status quo and uncovering market opportunities to maximise value? Then you might be our new gas trader, making a tangible difference to our global, industry-leading energy trading company.

The job

Here’s what the job entails
In the role, your primary focus will be to trade within the short-term European gas markets.

The team

Meet the team
You will join our Short-Term Gas Trading & Operations team dedicated to maximising value within the (sometimes very) volatile short-term gas markets. We blend a data-driven approach with an efficient setup that integrates trading and operations, which positions us to capture opportunities and restore energy balances close to delivery. We trade around the clock, every day of the year, and are always looking to grow our presence in natural gas — and backed by Equinor, we have the necessary financial capacity to enter new markets.

We are a committed team of highly skilled specialists; traders with an eye for results, analysts with innovative approaches to data and automation as well as tech-savvy developers working side-by-side with the business. We are recognised for our great team spirit and efficient collaboration, which are key to running a 24/7 setup smoothly, as we rely on each other every step of the way.

From day one, you will take on significant responsibility and have the freedom to make key decisions for our trading deals. The instant market feedback combined with feedback from the team, helps you rapidly excel at navigating the ever-evolving energy sector.
