About us

MSL Climate Solutions is the environmental markets arm of McGill St-Laurent (MSL), a Montreal-based group of commodity businesses spanning physical power trading (CWP Energy), grain (GSL Grain) and wood products (CWP Wood). We trade carbon and environmental attributes across North American compliance and voluntary markets, and we're building out the desk.

The role

You'll build and run a REC book focused on corporate greening. You'll own your P&L and work directly with the people setting the desk's strategy.

What you'll do

• Trade RECs and other renewable energy attributes across North American markets, voluntary and RPS compliance.
• Originate and structure corporate greening deals that help companies meet renewable electricity and Scope 2 targets, from spot REC sales to multi-year supply agreements.
• Source supply from generators, developers, utilities and other traders, and match it to buyer needs by technology, vintage, region and certification (e.g., Green-e).
• Follow RPS rules, Green-e standards and Scope 2 accounting guidance, and turn changes into trade ideas.
• Help shape the desk's REC and green power product offering.

What you bring

• Typically 5+ years trading, originating or structuring RECs, or in corporate renewable energy procurement.
• Strong knowledge of North American REC markets, including tracking systems (e.g., M-RETS, WREGIS, PJM-GATS) and market-based Scope 2 accounting.
• An active network of corporate buyers, generators and brokers.
• A track record of managing positions and P&L.
• The judgment to work independently and remotely, and the drive to help build a desk.
• French is an asset.

Why MSL

• Real ownership of a book on a desk that is still taking shape.
• The backing and counterparty reach of an established multi-commodity group, including a physical power trading business.
• Short decision lines: you'll work directly with desk and group leadership.
• Remote work from anywhere in North America.
• Competitive base salary and a performance-based bonus.
