Market Risk Industrial Placement

We only deal with the best

Are you ready to gain an insight into working at a leading European energy trading house? Our year-long Industrial Placements will give you the foundation to flourish in your early career.

Market Risk is vital to a global energy trading company to safeguard against a multitude of potential risks. Relying on strong numerical and analytical skills, you will learn to use risk management techniques to report these risks and provide advice to senior management, to ensure the business remains compliant, successful and profitable. In doing so, you will gain an appreciation of the entire business through frequent contact with trading teams and other departments.

Within the Market Risk team you will be involved in a wide variety of challenging projects, supporting business growth and improving risk processes. You will be exposed to a range of product types including forwards, swaps, options, FX and other complex derivatives, whilst developing your understanding of various trading strategies and keeping abreast of global market news and developments.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for bright and talented applicants with a proven passion for the energy industry. We want someone who is keen to develop, with a highly motivated and proactive attitude. You must have excellent communication skills and be able to work alongside industry experts. We would like to help someone learn and grow, and perhaps progress to the Graduate Programmes.

What do we offer?

We offer a competitive salary package, as well as benefits including:

  • company pension
  • private healthcare
  • financial assistance when moving from your base location
  • flexible benefits, including discounts at shops
  • on-site gym
  • free drinks and fruit
  • free eye care
  • paid subscription to membership of relevant associations, e.g - Young Energy Professionals

There’s a strong emphasis on support and development throughout your placement because we want to ensure that you develop into a well-rounded business professional. You will be invited to in-house courses and provided with plenty of on-the-job training.

Where will your career go next?

The only way is up! We believe in supporting and nurturing talent, so there’s every chance your career could progress with us after your placement has finished. Perhaps you’ll take a place on one of our Graduate Programmes as your next step. And it’s an exciting time to be here as we expand into new markets and grow globally. The skills you gain during your year here will be fully transferrable to any work environment.
