Optimisation
Asset, battery, portfolio and dispatch optimisation in short-term power.
Optimisation hiring at Kraft Search is built around power assets that must earn in intraday and balancing markets. Asset and battery optimisers sit in a different pool to traders, so we search for them separately and map that pool in its own right.
What we place

How we hire into optimisation

Head of Optimisation
What Asset Owners ask us first.
How quickly will I see a first shortlist?
For a clearly scoped optimisation brief, we work to two weeks. If the role spans markets or asset classes, the mapping phase extends and we agree milestones up front.
What if the role is hard to fill in my home market?
Scarce optimisation profiles are normal in BESS, VPP and complex portfolios. We map the adjacent segments and find operators who can move and translate onto your assets.
What does good look like in Optimisation hiring?
The test we hold an optimisation hire to is the first full rebid cycle: still running the book, with capture moved.
