RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, Essen
Start date: September 2022
Drive your career with an energy leader
Looking for a graduate programme with real growth potential? Join us at RWE Supply & Trading GmbH (RWEST) and follow in the footsteps of the many RWEST managers and traders who came through the programme before you.
From day one, you’ll be helping us continue our expansion into new markets and locations. Throughout the programme, you’ll be developing the skills and knowledge you need to become an industry expert.
What you’ll be doing
Over two years, you’ll do four six-month rotations, starting off in Essen (DE) with others potentially in London (UK), Swindon (UK) and Singapore (AS).
To make sure you build up a broad awareness of the business, at least one of your rotations will be in a non-trading function. Other than, you get to choose which areas of the business you work in. These could include:
- Proprietary trading of energy commodities (power, coal, gas, oil, LNG)
- Freight Trading & Operations (Shipping)
- Commercial Asset Optimisation
- Sales & Origination
- Analytical functions such as Structuring & Valuation, Risk Management or Data Science
- Business support functions such as Back Office or Finance Controlling
We are especially interested in hearing from candidates who would choose to do a rotation in Data Science, and who are interested in applying their coding and Python skills to fields including artificial intelligence and machine learning. We are also very keen to hear from candidates who want to apply their Maritime/Shipping expertise in a commercial field.
What you’ll need to thrive
Passionate about the energy industry? Want to learn and grow alongside experienced industry experts? Looking to explore new markets with a commercial business that is growing on a global scale? Then you could be just the person we’re looking for.
Some relevant work experience is useful but not essential. What you must have is:
- Minimum 2:1 degree (BSc, MSc or PhD) in a highly analytical and numerical subject such as Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Economics or Maritime degrees with one of these subjects as a core component
- Excellent communication skills with fluent English
- German language skills are beneficial, but not essential
- IT proficiency
- Strong team-working skills and a confident and sociable manner
- Commercial aptitude and entrepreneurial skills
- Analytical mind and the ability to learn quickly
- Desire to take accountability
- Willingness to relocate plus flexibility and mobility to travel to multiple locations
A culture that empowers you
We give you the opportunity to shape your own career path – and the support you need to make it a success. This includes assigning you your own buddy and senior mentor and offering a wide range of development opportunities and networking events.
You will also enjoy:
- Access to a modern refurbished trading floor
- Competitive salary plus generous annual discretionary bonus
- Open and diverse company culture with various clubs and societies
- Flexible working opportunities
