Company Description

Statkrafthas been making clean energy possible for over a century. That’s what we offer. 125 years of unrivalled expertise in supplying the world with what it needs most.

But there’s more work to be done – that’s why we need you to join us.

Working in Trading & Origination

As an Originator within Environmental Products, you will be responsible for developing Statkraft into a leading market participant across Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and broader environmental markets.

You will play a key role in expanding and scaling Statkraft’s Environmental Products platform, driving deal flow, deepening market relationships, and contributing to the commercialization of innovative products across REC markets. You will also contribute to pricing, structuring, and hedging environmental attribute transactions, leveraging collaboration across Origination, Trading, and Portfolio Management.

Finally, you will lead transactions end-to-end, applying your expertise and collaborative approach to ensure successful structuring, negotiation, and execution.
