Hydrologist

This role offers a unique opportunity to partner closely with the European Gas & Power teams to design, develop and maintain quantitative tools that forecast hydrological variables and translate them into power generation forecasts (MW/MWh). The successful candidate will join a top-tier power and natural gas analysis team and play a central role in building out our hydrological forecasting capability, from model design and calibration through to production-grade deployment and ongoing maintenance.

This position is well suited to someone who thrives in an innovative, entrepreneurial commercial environment, is motivated to take ownership of new analytics end-to-end, and enjoys translating scientific modelling into tools that directly support trading and investment decisions.
