Job Description

Join us, be part of more.

We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that’s energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently – we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.

About your team:

At Centrica Energy, our mission is to move it.

We’re energy movers by nature. We’re a global renewable energy trading company which helps move energy from source to use – powering businesses, homes, and societies as they transition to a new sustainable energy future. If the idea of working to create a sustainable energy future also moves you, we may very well be the right place for you.

Join a team building something from the ground up in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets. As part of the physical gas business in New York, you will play a central role in ensuring that energy flows reliably from source to use—working at the intersection of trading, operations, and market infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to develop hands-on expertise in North American gas scheduling while collaborating closely with traders, operators, and counterparties to keep operations running seamlessly in a fast-moving environment.

You will be part of a growing presence in the United States, contributing directly to the establishment of a physical gas platform that connects global capabilities with local market insight.

About the Role

You will take ownership of day-to-day scheduling activities, ensuring that gas flows are executed accurately and in line with both operational requirements and trading strategies. Working closely with traders and senior schedulers, you will contribute to the smooth running of physical operations in a market where timing and precision are critical.

The role offers exposure to a wide range of commercial and operational processes, providing a strong foundation in physical gas markets while supporting the development of scalable workflows and controls in a growing business. As part of this, you will play an active role in ensuring that:

  • Daily gas nominations are submitted across pipelines and assets in line with strict operational deadlines.

  • Pipeline bulletin boards and operational communications are closely monitored, allowing potential constraints to be identified early and shared with relevant stakeholders.

  • Imbalances, storage positions and park and loan activity are carefully managed to reduce operational risk and limit cashout exposure.

  • Relationships with pipeline operators, producers, counterparties and asset owners are maintained through continuous coordination to resolve issues efficiently.

  • Scheduling data and operational records remain accurate within systems, while reconciliations, reporting and month-end processes are supported.

This is a hybrid role with a strong office presence in New York, where close collaboration with traders and operational teams is key to day-to-day success. Flexibility to provide out-of-hours coverage is part of the role, reflecting the real-time nature of physical gas markets.

About You

You bring a structured and detail-oriented approach to operational work, with the ability to stay focused in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. You are comfortable working across teams and stakeholders, and you recognise the value of clear communication in keeping operations running smoothly.

A strong analytical mindset allows you to work confidently with complex information, while your curiosity drives you to build a deeper understanding of physical gas markets and their commercial context. You are motivated by the opportunity to grow within a developing business and contribute to building strong operational foundations.

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

  • A relevant degree in Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or a related field

  • Experience from a relevant internship or academic project

  • The ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and perform effectively under tight deadlines in a fast-paced setting.

  • Confidence in communicating complex subjects to technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Advanced Excel skills and Python programming proficiency

  • Flexibility to support out-of-hours operational requirements when needed.

Application

Please include a cover letter as part of your application. To guide you, we encourage you to reflect on a few key points:

  • What interests you most about this role based on the job description, and why?

  • Which relevant experience or academic projects have you been involved in, and how have they prepared you for a role like this?

As part of the recruitment process, you will also be asked to complete an online assessment. The outcome of this assessment will play an important role in our overall evaluation of your application during the screening process.
