Quantitative Analyst - Battery Energy Storage (BESS)

London Hybrid Competitive package

An exciting opportunity has opened for a Quantitative Analyst to join a rapidly growing energy business investing heavily in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in the UK's energy transition. You'll be part of a new team preparing for the launch of one of the country's largest grid-scale batteries, while supporting trading on an existing portfolio.

What you'll do:
  • Develop and test trading strategies for UK power markets (day-ahead, intraday, balancing).
  • Build forecasting tools and market models to support 24/7 operations.
  • Analyse data to optimise performance and identify new revenue opportunities.
  • Contribute to live trading activities and deliver market insights.
What we're looking for:
  • Strong Python skills with experience building analytics or trading tools.
  • Ability to handle large datasets and extract actionable insights.
  • Familiarity with UK power and battery storage markets (advantageous).
  • Analytical thinker, problem solver, and clear communicator.
  • Degree in a quantitative or technical field.

If you're looking to apply your quantitative skills at the cutting edge of energy and make a real impact on the transition to net zero - we'd love to hear from you.
