Our Summer Internship Programme offers you the opportunity to join a specific team and contribute to the company's success, through assigned projects and/or involvement with key business-as-usual tasks, to add real commercial value.
Our 12-week paid summer internship programme provides an exciting opportunity to develop an understanding of the skills needed to succeed in a commodities trading environment, through hands-on projects and constructive feedback. You will gain insights into the trade life-cycle and how a trading business operates, and have the chance to build a valuable network across the business.
Depending on your performance during the internship and your year of study, this could lead to you being considered for a place on one of our Graduate programmes in the future.
Our internships are best suited to those currently undertaking a 3rd level degree or masters, ideally in their penultimate year of studies.
This year, we have internship opportunities across a number of departments, including IT, Trading Operations, Analysis, Data Analysis and Finance, and we welcome applications from those with a demonstrable interest in the energy trading industry.
