Job Purpose / Overview

The Senior Market Access & Settlements Specialist will play a critical role in establishing Fidra Energy’s electricity market access, settlements, and revenue validation capability as the business transitions into asset operations. The role is responsible for monitoring the accurate settlement, reconciliation, and revenue validation of Fidra Energy’s route-to-market arrangements, including wholesale market revenues alongside associated commercial agreements. Working closely with Commercial, Finance, Operations, and external counterparties, the role will develop robust processes, controls, and reporting frameworks that support Fidra’s growing operational portfolio. Acting as Fidra’s subject matter expert for energy market access activities, settlement processes, counterparty obligations, and commercial governance, the role will ensure commercial performance is accurately captured, validated, and reported while supporting the development of scalable operating practices for future growth.

Contextual Information

Operating Environment

The Senior Market Access & Settlements Specialist will support the growth of Fidra Energy’s operational business as assets move through commissioning and into commercial operation. Working within a rapidly growing BESS platform with 1.9GW currently under construction, a further 1GW with ready-to-build status, and European expansion ambitions, the role will be central to establishing the market access, settlement, revenue validation, and governance processes required for long-term operational success. The position operates across multiple interfaces, including optimization partners, NESO, Elexon, as well as external and internal stakeholders. It provides an opportunity for the right candidate to build key processes from the ground up and influence how Fidra’s operational portfolio is managed and scaled.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
