Powering Australian Life.

At AGL, we believe energy makes life better. That’s why we’re passionate about powering the way Australians live, work and move.

Like you, we believe that the world is going through extraordinary challenges. We don’t shy away from the tough questions and we consider the answers carefully. We work in partnership with our customers and communities, and take action to shape a better future for all.

As life changes, we join the change, constantly evolving over 185 years. Today we bring all that know-how to transform how Australians produce, share and consume energy. We’re investing in new ideas, partnerships and infrastructure - renewing and expanding our portfolio of sources and products to help make them more sustainable, reliable, affordable and useful.

We’ll continue to innovate in energy and other essential services to enhance the way Australians live, and to help preserve the world around us for future generations.

About the Role

The Physical Markets Trader is responsible for managing AGL’s wholesale electricity procurement costs through the commercial operation of AGL’s generation assets in the National Electricity Market (NEM).

The Physical Markets Trader must plan, analyse and execute the trading strategies for AGL’s 9,000MW generation portfolio. The aim of the Physical Markets team is the efficient short-term optimisation of AGL’s electricity position, considering both short-term and long-term fuel constraints and plant outages, whilst ensuring that internal policies and procedures and Regulatory obligations are met.

Note: Role requires working on an overnight and weekend roster to trade AGL’s generation fleet.

What you’ll be doing:

- Ensure optimal dispatch through short-term planning of AGL generation assets, including fuel requirements (water, gas, coal and diesel), outage planning and ensuring AGL meets all rule requirements under the National Electricity Rules
- Manage Power Purchase Agreements with third parties to ensure that AGL is meeting all obligations under the agreements
- Ensuring the business is compliant with market rules and AEMO procedures by keeping up to date with changes in gas and electricity market rules and the impact on Integrated Energy. Perform regular reviews to ensure operations are compliant with market rules
- Ensure that all Health, Safety and Environment Systems and goals are introduced and adhered to while meeting the organisation’s policies and standards for HSE management
- Demonstrate the AGL values by acting in the best interests of AGL at all times and working together across the business to create the best overall results and decisions. Encourage the sharing of skills and experience and contributing to the success of the business at all levels, in a way that is vital and authentic
- Assisting in formulating an overall position for both Electricity and Gas Operations by reviewing various assumptions and approaches within the group in respect of the monthly scheduling activities
- Submitting offers and rebids for AGL’s coal, gas, hydro, wind, solar, battery and diesel generation to the National Electricity Market (NEM) spot market for dispatch
- Submitting nominations to the Physical Markets gas operations team, taking into consideration imbalances, contractual limits and relevant timings
- Utilising demand side management as required
- Operating the electricity portfolio 24x7
- Operating the portfolio within the AGL generation Bidding Policies and Procedures and National Electricity Rules
- Undertaking all activities within approved delegations

About You

You will have trading experience in gas, electricity or other non-energy commodity spot markets, or have energy market analytical experience, but most importantly you will be confident, articulate and comfortable working in a high performing team.

What you’ll bring to the table:

- Tertiary qualification in a discipline with a strong quantitative methods component
- Advanced analytical skills
- Ability to read market conditions and make quick decisions based on limited analysis
- Ability to work unsupervised and manage a significant portfolio base
- Ability to build and manage relationships both internal and external
- Excellent presentation, communication and negotiations skills
- Knowledge of financial derivatives
- Experience in traded commodities in financial markets and an understanding of fundamental market drivers
