The firm are looking to manage their exposure from a compliance perspective and also originate CERs for proprietary trading. As such it is expected that the person in this position will have a strong background in generating CDM projects, ideally within a trading environment where they have experience liaising with traders.

You will be joining one of the major participants in the European carbon market, and join the firm at a time where they are rapidly expanding their trading and structuring activities.

A strong knowledge of the EU-ETS is a prerequisite, and ideally you will be used to working with traders to optimise a carbon position.

This is a rare opportunity to join a major player in the European carbon market and have a major impact upon their carbon origination strategy.
