Student employee for Power Trading Operations

Firstly, your primary area of responsibility will be to support the power trading teams with their daily tasks and help the organisation meet all deadlines whilst being part of a shift-scheme (see information below). Secondly, you will get the opportunity to develop and maintain numerous business tools with a great focus on process optimisation in code-languages such as Python, SQL and VBA.

Further, your areas of responsibility will include the following:

• assist with covering daily shifts from 07:00-14:00 and 14:00-20:15 – seven days a week, 365 days a year
• make sure Danske Commodities schedules and balances all internal and external electricity flows on an hourly basis
• continuously communicate with team-members, internal stakeholders, external counterparties and exchanges
• on the longer run, potentially participate in a 24/7 on-call duty scheme

As our new student employee, you will join our Power Trading Operations team in which we act as the operational experts in Danske Commodities (DC). This role allows great insight into the systems used in DC, which gives us a significant role in the continuous digitalisation and automation journey in DC.

In the team, we have an informal atmosphere, where we enjoy balancing the professional everyday life with fun activities after working hours. This includes getting together in the team for activities such as padel tennis, fitness, dinners, boardgames – and everything in between. We are a team of young and innovative people who take pride in motivating, supporting and challenging each other. We are a mixed team of both student employees and fulltime employees which adds a great dynamic to the team. You can look forward to being in a young team with up to 10 other highly competent and ambitious student employees.

As you will join a team that operates in a dynamic market, we are looking for someone who takes a positive view and sees opportunities where others see problems. Also, we imagine that you are curious by nature and willing to learn more about the field we work within.

Furthermore, we expect that you:

• are currently enrolled in a relevant education within Computer Science, Economics, Finance, Mathematics or similar
• are interested in learning the coding languages Python, SQL and VBA – or perhaps you already have some skills within one (or more) of these
• can work approx. 20 hours a week
• can participate in the shift-scheme covering shifts from 07-14 and 14-20:15.
• are willing and thrilled about taking on responsibilities
• are willing to take on responsibility and act as a role model for DC whilst contributing to smooth operations
