Our client plays a central role in facilitating this market, notably by managing several so-called ancillary services essential to grid operation (such as the balancing capacity market, balancing energy market, and more).
Within the Market Energy Solutions (MES) department different activities linked to these ancillary services are organized, such as the conceptual evolutions of the products, the operation of the services and the monitoring/surveillance of these markets. To support these activities, our client is looking to strengthen the MES team by hiring a Market Analyst.
