What made you make the move to Centrica Energy?
I got involved in energy through my industrial placement year, working on oil and gas pipelines. During my subsequent MSc in Energy Systems, I discovered commodity trading as a way to be involved in this industry whilst retaining a global, system-wide view of the sector. Centrica Energy’s graduate scheme has given me the opportunity to try different aspects of energy trading — both to find where my skillset brings the most value and also what I enjoy the most.
What do you do in your current rotation?
In my current rotation, I am involved in our Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) trading, pricing new deals across Spain and Italy, alongside working on analysis for our trading portfolio. A typical day involves talking with our origination team about potential deals, writing code to perform fundamental analysis, and carrying out other impromptu trading-related tasks as they come.
