With around 1,000 employees, T&S operates from Geneva, Houston, Singapore, Dubai, Athens and Paris, ensuring the daily supply of refineries and distribution networks worldwide. In energy markets, T&S creates value through fair value assessment of flows, sourcing the best products for customers, and managing operational, financial, regulatory and HSE risks.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of a growing, purpose-led trading organization, with real exposure to the European power market.
Activities
As an Energy Data Portfolio Intern, you will work closely with the Energy Data Management team members, and focus on the French Renewable Scope, which includes a very large number of production sites (solar, hydro, and wind) to monitor.
Over the past years, the team has automated most of its processes using Python, Databricks, PowerQuery, and Power BI. The operational tasks of the EDM team involve:
- Collecting volumetric power data from multiple external and internal sources via APIs and retrieving any missing volumes.
- Ensuring data consistency by comparing current data with historical records and other sources but also by building some coherence checks to identify anomalies.
- Injecting validated data into the internal database and producing key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure data quality.
Your primary responsibilities will include maintaining and executing these operational tasks, developing new controls to improve data reliability, and contributing to the issuance of Guarantees of Origin.
This internship offers the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the French energy market structure, collaborate with Front, Middle, and Back Office teams, and interact with external stakeholders such as RTE and Enedis. You will strengthen your programming expertise across multiple languages and actively support the migration to next-generation tools and platforms.
