Wind & Battery Analyst / Dispatcher at RES & Customer Optimisation Nordic
Do you want to help us lead the transition into a fossil free future, and enable integration of more renewable power production into the European power system? Do you have a curious and analytical mind who likes programming and data analysis? Then we might have the perfect position for you!
We see a rapid growth both in our flex portfolio and in the demand for smart energy services why we now need to strengthen our Nordic team in Wind- & Customer optimisation with a new talent.
Wind & Customer Optimisation Nordic is a performance oriented department responsible for optimisation of Vattenfall’s Nordic Wind- and Customer portfolio on physical power markets. Thus we have a key role for the realisation of Vattenfall’s strategy to lead the transition into a sustainable energy system by enabling further integration of renewable energy and new investments in fossil free power. The team is expected to be innovative, high performing and flexible – ready to cope with the rapidly changing dynamics of the European Power market.
The role as Wind & Battery Analyst / Dispatcher:
This is a hybrid role that combines part-time operational work at the Dispatch Desk in our Nordic Dispatch Center with part-time analytical work in our Wind & Battery Optimisation team. In this role, you will contribute to the development of our optimisation processes, including wind forecasting, trading and optimisation strategies, ancillary service delivery, and the design of systems and tools for quantitative, data-driven decision support. IT and data are integral to all our operations, and you will gain hands-on experience with data analysis, advanced forecasting tools, and algorithmic trading.
Vattenfall’s Dispatch Desk plays a central role in the Swedish power system. Working at the desk will provide you with deep insights into the fundamentals of the Nordic power market—knowledge that is essential for success in the analyst role. We value creativity, initiative, and the ability to think outside the box. The Dispatch Desk operates 24/7 in a three-shift system and is responsible for intraday optimisation and dispatch of our Nordic asset portfolio. This includes tasks such as bidding and delivering ancillary services, intraday trading, and operating and monitoring algorithms.
The hybrid role concept is standard practice within BU Assets and is highly appreciated by our employees. It offers a dynamic and stimulating work environment with diverse responsibilities, allowing you to apply insights from one area to another which creates valuable synergies.
Main tasks and responsibilities:
- Operational work as Dispatcher in the Nordic dispatch center (approximately 50%)
- Support our experts in continuous development of the optimisation of Vattenfall’s Nordic wind- & battery portfolio, including forecasting, optimisation- & trading strategies, algo-trading, ancillary service deliveries etc.
- Challenge established solutions and initiate new business improvements

We now want to enable the fossil freedom that drives society forward. To be able to reach this ambitious goal we are looking for talented individuals who, in addition to passion for their own role, also have strong team spirit and want to contribute to supporting a meaningful corporate mission.
We are looking for a person with:
- Relevant University degree of quantitative/financial discipline (e.g. Engineering, IT, Econometrics, Mathematics, Physics or similar)
- Programming and data analysis skills (preferably in Python)
- Business sense and a “trader’s mindset"
- Flexibility and ability to keep many activities ongoing simultaneously
- Fluent in Swedish and good skills in English.
We offer an interesting and challenging job within one of Europe’s leading energy companies and in a vital business area where we expect substantial growth within the next few years. You will be part of a innovative, dynamic and high performing team active in a rapidly changing market which provides quick feedback and reward. Initially you will work closely together with our market leading experts on market analysis and intraday trading and then your responsibilities will grow gradually as you are building knowledge and expertise. Over time you will have great opportunities to influence and steer your career path according to your own aspirations.
