As a Power & Gas Portfolio Optimiser, you play a key role in optimising Luminus’ power and gas portfolios from short-term to long-term horizons. You combine market expertise, analytical insight and stakeholder coordination to translate hedging strategies into concrete trading and optimisation decisions, all within the defined risk framework.

What you’ll do

• You implement and continuously improve the power and gas hedging strategy from D+2 up to Y+5, fully aligned with the risk mandate.

• You analyse integrated portfolios across power, gas, CO₂ and FX, identifying synergies and optimisation opportunities.

• You manage weather- and volume-related risks and work closely with forecasting teams to ensure smooth demand and renewables outlooks.

• You act as the main point of contact between Optimisation and Generation, coordinating thermal asset availability and production planning.

• You nominate generation availabilities and production plans to ELIA from week-ahead to year-ahead horizons.

• You contribute to transparent portfolio models, reporting tools and ETRM system setups in close collaboration with Middle and Back Office.

What you bring

• You hold a Master’s degree in engineering, finance or economics, with a solid understanding of energy markets (power, gas, CO₂).

• You have at least 3 years of working experience.

• You are familiar with financial instruments such as forwards, options and swaps.

• You take proactive decisions, even with incomplete information, and remain stress-resistant in a fast-moving environment.

• You communicate complex topics clearly and confidently to both peers and senior management.

• You enjoy challenging existing processes and turning abstract concepts into practical improvements.

• You are fluent in English and have a good command of Dutch or French; strong Excel and/or Python skills are a clear asset.
