Develop and enhance software, data pipelines, automated controls, reporting, and analytical tools supporting the full energy trade lifecycle. The role focuses initially on settlements, commercial finance, P&L, position reporting, reconciliation, and exception management across power, gas, carbon, and battery assets. Responsibilities include integrating Aligne, Microsoft Fabric, and internal systems; replacing manual processes with scalable applications; and collaborating with settlements, finance, trading, quantitative analytics, IT, and data architecture teams.
An opportunity has arisen to recruit an Energy Trading Developer to join our Finance team. The role will be primarily based in our London office, with occasional travel to the Leeds office.
The successful candidate will design, build and continually enhance the data, applications and analytical tools supporting TTEP across the full energy trade lifecycle, from trading positions and operational activity through to settlement, P&L and realised commercial performance, with the initial focus being on Settlements and Commercial Finance, automating manual processes, strengthening controls and developing scalable solutions for settlement assurance, position reporting, P&L and wider commercial analysis across TTEP’s portfolio of CCGT, Biomass and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assets.
Our ideal candidate will be commercially curious and genuinely interested in energy trading, with a desire to understand not just how the systems and data work, but how trading decisions are made, how value is created and how operational and settlement outcomes ultimately impact commercial performance. Working closely with various teams across the business, the role will provide the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how energy is traded, dispatched, settled and ultimately reflected in financial performance. As the role develops, there will be opportunities to work more closely with the Quantitative Analytics and Trading teams on analytical tools, models and applications that support trading decisions and wider commercial optimisation.
