Company Description

Statkraft has been making clean energy possible for over a century. That’s what we offer. 125 years of unrivalled expertise in supplying the world with what it needs most. We envision a world that runs entirely on renewable energy. Because in the fight against climate change, we don’t see renewable energy as part of the solution – we believe it must be the solution. With us, you’ll shape a career that is truly forward-facing with many amazing opportunities and offerings to match. But there’s more work to be done – that’s why we need you.

The energy sector is currently facing a rapid transition towards digitalization and automation driven by decentralisation of (flexible) generation and increased market dynamics. To handle the resulting increased complexity efficiently, Statkraft makes use of algorithmic trading and virtual power plant solutions that automatically balance renewable generation, steer asset flexibility in real-time and run trading activities.

Why join us

We promise, that here with us, you will build a better way. You will take ownership for projects, you will collaborate across boundaries, you will embrace new skills, guide and be surrounded by some of the smartest people in the industry. Together we lead the energy transition to ensure a more sustainable future for our customers, society and future generations. Together, let’s renew the way the world is powered by building a better way.

Job Description

Learning on the job: You will engage in short-term analysis and trading, develop tools and models, and support operational activities. You will work independently while receiving support from various units, such as analysis and intraday trading, enhancing your fundamental knowledge of the energy markets.

Creativity and innovation: An important part is the new and further development of models, as well as benchmarking and monitoring processes, which are based on time series and statistical data analysis.

Contribute: Depending on your interests and skills, your internship will focus on the following areas:

You add value to the team by contributing to price forecasts, optimization algorithms and support day-to-day trading activities.
