We do this together with more than 3,000 colleagues, according to 'the new way of working', in a beautiful modern building: Eneco World. And we work from the values Customer first, Together and Trust & Responsibility. Eneco World is easily accessible: a two-minute walk from Rotterdam Alexander metro and train station.

You will be part of the Eneco Energy Trading (EET) department and work in a dynamic trading environment. With a diverse team of more than a hundred highly educated employees, we are working on an optimal market vision that supports Eneco's sustainability objectives.
