Careers
Build your career in international energy trading.
Working here
A demanding environment with real responsibility.
Physical oil trading is fast-moving and detail-driven. A single barge can carry product worth several million euros, and precision in documentation and specifications is essential. We look for people who remain composed under pressure, work with rigour and communicate clearly.
We value judgement, integrity and teamwork as highly as formal qualifications. Our team includes professionals with backgrounds in shipping, inspection, banking and the armed forces, as well as in trading.

Learn from experienced professionals
Our team brings extensive experience in oil trading and logistics, and knowledge is shared openly across the organisation.
Direct access to leadership
The Management Board works alongside the team in our Rotterdam office, enabling ideas to be discussed and decisions taken quickly.
Fair reward
A competitive salary, a performance-related bonus, a pension scheme and a generous holiday allowance.
