Contexte et environnement
TotalEnergies Gas & Power Trading (TGP) and its affiliates are expanding rapidly as the company accelerates its transition toward power. This growth is driven in large part by the acquisition of diverse energy assets, including wind, solar, battery storage, and CCGTs. For TGP, this translates into a sharp increase in trading volumes, a broader geographical footprint, and an urgent need for process automation — all of which carry significant implications for IT.

You will oversee the architecture and take a leading role in solution design within the energy‑management perimeter, ensuring effective execution. The environment will involve an optimal mix of in‑house developments and third‑party systems. As TotalEnergies continues to expand its gas and power activities—particularly in support of the company’s transition to power—you will also contribute to a major ongoing transformation program.
