Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend RWE Supply & Trading to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to RWE Supply & Trading
Consider not living in Swindon, a lot of nicer areas around, if youre willing to drive a bit into work. Try to find some social activities outside of work, like joining sports teams, so your weekends are filled. Make the most of all opportunities they provide you from training to events/lunches.
