Senior Bunker Trader

Title: Senior Bunker & Marine Fuel Trader (Back to Back)

Location: Remote/WFH (in Europe)

Salary: 80-120,000EUR basic + bonus (of course in a trading role, compensation depends on location and volume of business). If your salary requirements fall outside of this, we would still love to chat.

WhatsApp groups with internal competition layered on top of your external peers can be somewhat tedious; teams of bunker traders competing for the same enquiries with no edge. Our boutique trading client has a longstanding staff, low attrition and a lack of ego that means books are built, maintained and profited from in the long term without the politics that tends to go with it. With both commercial and military contracts, their client base is specific and their client service and retention the strongest string to their bow.

In what has been a longstanding but modest, considered and organic growth plan, we are exclusively retained to find the next long term marine fuels and bunker trader to join this established and long-serving boutique. If you are a bunker trader working on a floor with too many cooks, we would love to speak to you about a remote position with our client where you can focus on and earn on what you are doing, not what your colleagues are.

With an established office on the sun-kissed Côte d’Azur, there is both the option for long term relocation or remote working elsewhere in Europe for the right traders.
