Graduate Power Trader

Full job description

A permanent, full-time, on-site graduate trading role at Volcore's Manchester city-centre office, trading wholesale electricity in real time to support renewable generation and grid stability. Traders make quick trades on live information, monitor and adjust positions to manage risk, propose new trading ideas and tools, and analyse market dynamics with the tech team; the role does not involve coding models. The team works a rotating shift pattern covering 6am to 11pm every day of the week, typically five days with about one weekend day. Applicants need a STEM background, strong chart reading and probability skills, and no energy or finance experience, though advantage betting, poker or personal trading experience helps. Pay starts at 34,000 pounds plus a bonus scheme, applicants send a CV and a short questionnaire, and the posting gives no closing date or start date. It requires eligibility to live and work full time in the UK when the role begins, and says visa sponsorship may be considered after at least 13 months' employment if declared at application.
