Graduate Commodity Trading Analyst
Join us, be part of more.

We're so much more than an energy company. We're a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn't rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion and more potential. That's why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.

About your team:

At Centrica Energy, our mission is to move it.

We're energy movers by nature. We're a global renewable energy trading company which helps move energy from source to use - powering businesses, homes, and societies as they transition to a new sustainable energy future. If the idea of working to create a sustainable energy future also moves you, we may very well be the right place for you.

What you'll be doing:

As a Graduate Commodity Trading Analyst, you'll join a structured two-year programme designed to help you grow quickly, build confidence, and make a real impact.

You'll complete three eight-month placements , working side by side with experienced specialists and learning how to tackle complex, real-world business challenges from day one.

Each placement offers something different - new teams, new perspectives, and a fresh learning curve - giving you a broad and exciting view of how a leading commodity trading business operates.

You'll gain exposure across a wide range of teams and functions, which may include trading and optimisation, gas, power, LNG, origination, finance, and risk , among others. Along the way, you'll help support important commercial decisions, contributing to commodity contracts and trading strategies that genuinely matter to the business.

We believe graduates learn best by doing. That's why you'll be encouraged to deliver real business outcomes from your very first placement. To support you, we provide a strong development framework, combining hands-on learning with structured technical and behavioural training.

One of your rotations will be outside of the front office, giving you a deeper understanding of the full trading lifecycle. We also actively encourage international placements , including opportunities to work in our other major offices such as Denmark.

What we need from you:

We're excited to hear from graduates who enjoy using data and analysis to influence meaningful commercial decisions. You'll thrive in this role if you:

  • Expecting a minimum 2:1 degree along with a masters in a highly numerical subject such as Applied Economics, Engineering (e.g. Chemical or Mechanical), Mathematics, Physics, or similar.
  • Strong commercial awareness, with an interest in energy markets and creating value through data-driven decision-making.
  • Experience using programming and analytical techniques (such as Python, MATLAB, C or similar) to build models, test hypotheses and generate meaningful insights from complex data.
  • A confident communicator who enjoys solving problems, applying quantitative thinking in a real-world environment, and building strong collaborative relationships.

Diversity is important for us don't forget to highlight in your application what makes you and your life experiences unique for an international company like Centrica Energy! We review applications on a rolling basis , so we'd encourage you to apply early to avoid missing out.
