Commercial Graduate

Job description

We're Hiring!
Commercial Graduate, Edinburgh City Centre

Are you curious, commercially minded, and excited by the opportunity to learn and grow? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment where thinking differently is a natural part of the positive culture? If so, this could be the role for you!

We're looking for an ambitious individual to join our team as a Commercial Graduate. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your commercial business awareness, build new skills, and gain hands-on experience in a supportive, fast-paced environment.
About Us

InterGen is a uniquely independent energy company, and we understand how important it is to teach you skills for life that will help to power your career. The energy industry is an exciting one that's always changing in interesting new ways. It's essential to everyone in their everyday lives, from charging your phone to boiling a kettle! Could you help us continue to supply energy in the UK for generations to come?
A Commercial Graduate Programme

Step into the fast-paced commercial world with our graduate programme - a unique opportunity that will launch your career in the energy industry. You'll gain a deep understanding of our business, sharpen your commercial instincts, and receive hands-on training from our team of industry experts.
What You'll Be Doing

Your first twelve months will be focused on building the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to succeed in this role. During this time, you will:
• Start Your InterGen Journey - start your journey with an onboarding experience designed to set you up for success from day one. You'll discover what we do - how our power stations keep the lights on and the economy moving, meet colleagues from across the business, and gain a real understanding of the culture and values that make InterGen unique.
• Power Your Knowledge at Powertica - spend time with our sister company Powertica, the energy trading arm of the business. You'll gain insight into the UK energy market, learn how the power that's generated by our power stations is traded and develop a practical understanding of trading principles and dispatch decisions.
• Develop your Analysis & Modelling Skills - we'll introduce you to financial modelling and help build your commercial analysis capabilities. You'll learn how to assess opportunities, compare options and support pricing decisions within capacity markets. As your confidence grows, you'll begin presenting insights and recommendations to stakeholders within the business.
• Learn, Grow and Build Your Expertise - through tailored training and real-life projects, you'll start to develop your knowledge of key commercial concepts like tendering processes, Gas Operating Margins and Capacity Market Registers. We'll help you start to build your ability to analyse information, make recommendations and navigate complex legal and commercial documents. Along the way, we'll look at proven communication and thinking frameworks which will help you communicate recommendations with clarity and impact.

By your second year, you'll have the commercial confidence to step beyond learning and into ownership to make a bigger impact across the business. Building on your first 12 months, you will take on greater responsibility, manage commercial projects and agreements, influence business decisions through insight and analysis and confidently present to senior stakeholders, all while deepening your market expertise and shaping the next step in your career.
Where Could This Lead?

This programme is designed to give you a broad exposure across the commercial world, helping you to build a unique combination of analytical, commercial market, business partnering, risk and regulatory skills. Whether you discover a passion for a particular specialism or enjoy working broadly across multiple disciplines, you will leave with valuable experience and a clearer view of where you'd like your career to go next.
Why you?

We welcome applications from graduates of all academic backgrounds, as well as those who have gained valuable experience through alternative routes. While a basic level of numeracy is helpful, you don't need a specific degree or prior industry experience to be successful in this role.

What matters most is your mindset. We're looking for curious, resilient individuals who are eager to learn, embrace new challenges, and take a proactive approach to their development. If you're excited by the opportunity to build a broad commercial skillset and explore where your strengths and interests could take you, we'd love to hear from you.
What's in it for you?
• Starting salary of £30,000 plus 5% discretionary annual bonus
• 35 days holiday (includes bank holidays)
• Enhanced Pension Scheme
• Health & Wellbeing Reimbursement - £650 per year to help support your health and wellbeing
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - 24/7 support for you and your family wherever you are. All employees get access to unlimited counselling sessions.
• Eyecare Vouchers
• Annual Season Ticket loan (Travel)
• Learning, Development and Progression Opportunities
• A friendly and exciting environment enhanced with regular company-funded social events, seasonal gatherings and charity initiatives
