• Assist in setting up markets, products, or scheduling systems for European power and related operational processes.
• Nominate against interconnector transmission rights and track capacity auction results, transfers, and curtailment impacts.
• Assist in reconciling trading activities and support imbalance, settlement and operational queries.
• Develop ad-hoc operational analysis reports and contribute to improvements in desk processes and controls.
• Lead or support change management projects to handle market changes or onboard new markets, where appropriate.
• Provide timely, accurate scheduling support for CCI’s European gas positions, including nominations, confirmations, and resolution of operational exceptions, as required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a numerate or technical discipline — Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Economics, or similar; candidates from other backgrounds with strong quantitative ability will also be considered.
• At least two years' experience in power scheduling; knowledge of interconnector nominations is a plus.
• Understanding of European power markets, day-ahead scheduling, nominations, and imbalance exposure.
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with trading desks, operations teams, counterparties, and market operators.
• Strong work ethic, attention to detail and willingness to work occasional weekends on a rotational basis.
• Experience with Continental market coupling, cross-border capacity allocation and TSO nomination platforms.
• Prior use of an ETRM or scheduling system in a live operational setting.
• SQL, Python or Power BI capability for reconciliation, automation and reporting.
• Proficiency in an additional European language is advantageous.
• Proven ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic, and high-intensity environment with timely responsiveness and flexibility to work beyond normal business hours when required.
