Excited to work on a project for a key Belgian player in the energy landscape?

The Belgian and European energy landscape is in full swing. Did you know that Client Belgium plays a crucial role in this?

As part of Client Group, a European transmission system operator, Client Belgium ensures the reliability and sustainability of the electricity supply in our country.

Side-by-side with other Contingent Workers and Client staff, you will play a part in building a sustainable, green and reliable energy infrastructure that stimulates economic growth and reduces our ecological footprint.

Only together can we make the biggest impact possible We believe in the power of diversity: we are convinced that an inclusive and diverse work environment leads to more innovation, creativity and better results.

**Service description**:
The proper functioning of the energy market is a key pillar of the energy transition. Client plays a central role in facilitating this market, notably by managing several so-called ancillary services essential to grid operation (such as the balancing capacity market, balancing energy market, and more).

Within the Market Energy Solutions (MES) department different activities linked to these ancillary services are organized, such as the conceptual evolutions of the products, the operation of the services and the monitoring/surveillance of these markets.

To support these activities, Client is looking to strengthen the MES team by hiring a Market Analyst. Based within the Market Monitoring and Data team, the Market Analyst is responsible for monitoring the functioning and integrity of the market. The role involves developing a quantitative view of market dynamics and participant behavior by analyzing available data, identifying trends and patterns, and assessing internal and external studies. These insights contribute to a better understanding of the market, its market players, support its ongoing improvement and the build-up of a strong market intelligence within Client.

The Market Analyst we are seeking will focus on the following key responsibilities:
**Designing and implementing Power BI dashboards**to analyze specific situations in the balancing markets and the intraday and day-ahead energy markets, supporting market surveillance activities. This requires a solid understanding of Client’s products, balancing mechanisms, market participant behaviour, and the fundamental drivers of market outcomes. These dashboards will help to increase market intelligence within Client and to ensure the integrity of the markets organized by Client.

**Analyzing ongoing and upcoming market evolutions, and developing & enhancing reporting tools, in particular**:
In 2025, Client is going through a major development in the balancing market (connecting to the European MARI platform), which will allow the activation of balancing energy in other countries. This shift will require in-depth analysis and reporting to understand its implications, and the Market Analyst will play a key role in supporting this effort through data analysis and structured reporting.

A go-live related to congestion management improvement occurred last year. The Market Analyst will be responsible for developing and maintaining a dedicated Power BI dashboard to closely monitor the impact of this go-live on the congestion market.

**Analyzing the participation of storage units in the balancing markets and intraday energy market**, with a particular focus on how they manage their technical storage constraints.
