Within your first weeks you will receive a full training on the job so you have to be an eager learner in order to build your competencies that will render you independent.

Step by step you will take on several activities that are part of the main duties within the Origination team, bringing your invaluable contribution to our daily operations:

• Provide outstanding support to originate and develop business opportunities in the power sourcing domain, including assisting in building a portfolio of power producers, contributing to the set-up of commercial relationship and procurement contracts and learning to structure and propose Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and innovative contractual solutions
• Collaborate in identifying new opportunities in the wholesale energy market
• Helping to establish connections with producers, end users, and brokers
• Supporting the launch of new ideas and projects to grow the business
• Be active and ready to take on new challenges in other areas of MET should this become your desire

• BSc or MSc in Business, Finance, Economics, or Engineering (preferably Energy Engineering), with a strong academic record
• Previous basic experience in a similar role within the Energy sector (power and/or gas) is preferred but not mandatory
• Knowledge of the Italian energy market, including regulatory, economic, and competitive landscapes
• Strong analytical mindset, familiarity with market analysis tools and techniques is an advantage
• Excellent communication and active listening skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with clients and cross-functional teams to achieve shared business goals
• Proactive, results-driven, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Well organized, autonomous with time management and planning skills
• Fluent in Italian with a strong command of English
• Proficient in MS Office, with advanced skills in Excel and Outlook

In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a big impact to the overall results of the company. You will be part of a dynamic, innovative growth company which embraces new ideas and encourages everyone to contribute to our strategy.

We have an open, informal culture and we trust our people to get the job done - so we will also give you plenty of autonomy.

You will be working in an international environment which creates opportunities to share knowledge and work together with colleagues from other MET subsidiaries, mainly from the Swiss office.
