The job as Junior Power Trader
You will join our Power Trading team in Istanbul and play a hands-on role in day-ahead trading from day one.

• You have programming skills or are motivated to develop them
• You think analytically, structure problems clearly, and make decisions with confidence under pressure
• You are curious, proactive, and quick to learn, especially when facing complex challenges
• You bring a collaborative mindset and positive, competitive energy to the team
• Fluent in English, both spoken and written, as our company language is English
