Job Description

Role Overview

We are looking for someone who is passionate about translating ideas into numbers that enable better decision-making.

You should enjoy analysing commercial value in the context of complex, uncertain and evolving market conditions.

• Build energy market models for Europe using standard tools.

• Perform backcasting to assess model performance.

• Benchmark various available energy market tools.

• Report generation of the model analysis.

Experience

• 3–12 years of relevant experience in energy modelling, optimisation or quantitative analysis within the power sector.

Technical Skills

• Proven expertise in energy system, using quantitative and computational methods.

• Hands-on experience in the modelling, development and deployment of models.

• Strong proficiency in Python for model development, data analysis and automation with the ability to translate technical and business requirements into clean, efficient and maintainable code.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to research and learn new techniques.

• Experience working with large time-series datasets (prices, load, weather, generation, dispatch).

Communication & Collaboration

• Ability to communicate complex analytical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong documentation skills covering models, assumptions and analytical results.

• Collaborative team player with a structured and proactive working style.

Education

• Masters degree from a recognized university (Power Systems, Energy Markets, Applied Mathematics, Economics or related field).

Good to Have Skills

This role is suited for candidates with a strong quantitative inclination who are excited to work on optimization, modelling and market-driven decision-making in energy systems.

• Develop and maintain energy system and market models that capture the interaction between renewable generation, energy storage, demand, grid constraints and electricity markets.

• Validate, stress-test and interpret model outputs to ensure results are technically robust, commercially meaningful and aligned with real-world system behaviour.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, investment and operation) to develop and refine operating and revenue optimisation strategies for renewable and storage assets.

• Translate complex modelling and analytical outputs into clear insights and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Track and analyse developments across electricity markets in Europe, including day-ahead, real-time, balancing and ancillary service markets to continuously improve modelling assumptions and optimisation approaches.
