Women in Trading Summer Internship Programme

Digital technologies, including AI-enabled tools, are becoming an integral part of how we work at RWE. Throughout the internship, you will have opportunities to use these tools responsibly to enhance productivity, support decision-making, foster innovation and improve ways of working, always in line with RWE policies and responsible use principles.

Job requirements and experience

We're looking for female students in the penultimate year of a highly quantitative or analytical degree, ideally on track to achieve a 2:1 or above, who are curious about energy, commodity trading and our markets.

Applicants will typically be studying a degree with a strong numerical, statistical, computational or data-focused component, such as:

• Mathematics or Statistics.
• Engineering.
• Physics.
• Computer Science or Data Science.
• Economics with a strong quantitative focus, such as econometrics, statistics or data analysis.
• Other disciplines with a significant quantitative, computational or data analysis component.

These examples aren't exhaustive. Whatever your degree discipline, we're interested in the skills and experience you've developed through your studies. You'll need to be comfortable working with numerical data, applying analytical thinking and using quantitative methods to explore problems and develop solutions.

Some prior programming experience is important for this internship, with experience using Python particularly relevant. You don't need to be an expert. Additional training and support will be provided throughout the programme. Experience with SQL, Power BI, automation technologies or AI-enabled productivity tools would also be useful.

No previous commodity trading or financial markets experience is required. We're interested in people who are curious about markets, enjoy learning and working with data, and are excited to develop their analytical and technical skills within a real-world commodity trading environment.

You’ll also need

• An interest in developing your commercial understanding.
• Clear and thoughtful communication skills.
• A collaborative approach and an interest in learning from others.
• Confidence working independently while also contributing as part of a team.
• Curiosity and a willingness to explore new ideas and different approaches.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office including Excel and PowerPoint.

Advantageous, but not essential

• Experience with Power BI, SQL, Python, automation technologies or AI-enabled productivity tools.

From here, you’ll have a community of support

Your internship isn't only about technical experience. You'll also have opportunities to build relationships, grow your confidence and feel part of a supportive community, while learning from people across our business through RWE's Women's Network:

• Meet and greets with female desk heads and senior leaders.
• Career stories from talented women across RWEST.
• A dedicated mentor and buddy.
• Interactive development workshops designed to build your professional skills and confidence.
• A week at our Essen Campus, giving you further exposure to our international business.

You'll also gain a glimpse into the development opportunities available through our Graduate Programme and how you could continue your career with us after university.

Whichever team you join, you’ll be welcomed as an equal. Your perspective will be valued, and you’ll be trusted to deliver meaningful work.

RWE is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment – we value your passion, your willingness to learn and your desire to thrive. Even if you don't have all the above skills, need flexible working arrangements or other adjustments not yet listed here, we'd love to hear from you.

Your benefits

We aim to promote a workplace that allows people to perform at their best. So, as well as ensuring you’re rewarded for your efforts, we also have a variety of initiatives in place to create a healthy workspace and support your well-being:

• A competitive salary.
• 25 days of paid time off (PTO), plus public holidays, to support work-life balance (pro-rated).
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) providing confidential support for work, health and life matters.
• Modern office and trading floor located in prime areas, equipped with the latest technology.
• Open and diverse company culture, with active clubs, networks and societies.
