You will be part of the Eneco Energy Trading (EET) department and work in a dynamic trading environment. With a diverse team of more than a hundred highly educated employees, we are working on an optimal market vision that supports Eneco's sustainability objectives. EET forms a busy, sometimes hectic working environment that requires a lot of personal initiative and insight. We quickly switch with each other in an informal, collegial atmosphere. Within EET, the commercial, operation and IT teams work closely together to deliver our ambitions. You shape the energy transition yourselves. This is a rewarding but challenging task.
