About Us
Quatro Solutions is a boutique, growing consulting firm specialising in the implementation and enhancement of both vendor and in-house E/CTRM systems, combined with pragmatic advice on business processes and the systems that support them.
About the Role
The way the world produces, trades and uses energy is changing fast, from the growth of renewables and carbon markets to new global flows of LNG. The organisations at the centre of this need people who can help them understand and manage risk.
We’re looking for a Graduate Trainee Consultant to join our Energy & Commodity Trading Risk Management (E/CTRM) practice. You’ll work with energy producers, utilities, commodity traders and financial institutions, helping them make better decisions in complex markets.
You’ll be trained across the full range of risk management (market, credit and operational risk, regulatory compliance and trading analytics) while helping clients implement and improve the systems they rely on every day.
What You’ll Do
- Work as part of a project team helping clients improve their trading, risk management and market operations.
- Talk to clients to understand how they work, gather their requirements, and help turn them into practical solutions.
- Learn how E/CTRM systems support trading, scheduling, logistics, valuation and risk reporting.
- Analyse data to help clients understand their exposures, market trends and operational risks.
- Help with system configuration, testing, documentation and training client users.
- Learn from experienced consultants and build your expertise project by project.
- Stay curious about developments in renewables, carbon markets, LNG, regulation and new technology.
About You
- Have a degree in any subject that involves working with numbers or analysis, such as Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Geography, Environmental Science, Natural Sciences or Accounting.
- Enjoy getting to the bottom of a problem and working through it logically.
- Communicate clearly and enjoy building relationships with clients and colleagues.
- Are comfortable working with data and technology, and keen to learn more.
- Are organised, take ownership of their work, and are open to learning new things quickly.
- Have an interest in energy, sustainability, commodity markets, risk or technology.
Python, SQL or other data skills are welcome but not required.
Don’t meet every point? We’d still encourage you to apply. Research shows many great candidates hold back unless they tick every box, and we’re more interested in your potential than a perfect match.
What We Offer
- A structured graduate programme with full training in E/CTRM concepts, systems and methods.
- A dedicated mentor and buddy from day one.
- Real client work from the start, alongside experienced consultants.
- Exposure to a range of global clients and commodities, including renewables and carbon markets.
- Ongoing support towards professional development
- Flexible and hybrid working, with part-time or flexible hours considered.
- A friendly, collaborative team where people support each other’s growth.
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We want our team to reflect the diverse markets and clients we work with, and we welcome applications from everyone, especially groups currently underrepresented in energy and consulting, including women.
