Senior Trader Gas

Eneco's proprietary trading desk is seeking a highly skilled Senior Gas Trader to join their experienced Rotterdam-based team. The team's primary objective is to generate consistent P&L by executing proprietary trading strategies across global gas markets with real risk capital. In this role, the candidate will take direct ownership of trading European natural gas, with structured exposure to international benchmarks including JKM (Asia) and Henry Hub (US). Daily responsibilities include identifying market opportunities, managing significant risk positions within strict Value at Risk (VaR) limits, and navigating market drawdowns with strong commercial discipline. The quantitative approach relies heavily on fundamental market analysis, supply/demand forecasting, and cross-market flow modeling. Candidates are expected to translate complex geopolitical events, LNG contract structures, shipping economics, and weather-driven demand fluctuations into actionable trading strategies. While the role focuses on proprietary execution, collaboration with quantitative analysts and risk management professionals is vital to validating trade ideas and optimizing risk utilization. A quantitative or economics-based academic background is required, alongside proven experience in proprietary energy trading environments and spread trading.
