Oilmar DMCC is recruiting bunker traders for its Singapore office, targeting candidates with three to six years of experience for mid-level roles and more than six years for senior positions.

According to the job description, the bunker trader position centres on developing and managing relationships with shipowners, operators, charterers and suppliers while executing back-to-back marine fuel transactions. The role carries direct revenue responsibility and requires a combination of commercial skills and disciplined management of credit, risk and compliance exposure.

Responsibilities include conducting physical bunker trades covering high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO), very-low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), marine gas oil (MGO) and, where relevant, alternative marine fuels. Traders will also be expected to negotiate pricing and contractual terms while tracking market developments, price trends and regulatory changes.

The role involves overseeing the entire transaction process, from the initial enquiry and pricing stage through to delivery monitoring and post-fixture follow-up, while ensuring that trading activity complies with internal policies, sanctions rules and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.

For the Singapore-based role, the company states that familiarity with the Asia-Pacific bunker market dynamics is essential. Mandarin language skills are considered an advantage.

Preferred qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in business, maritime studies, economics, finance or a related field, although the company notes that relevant professional experience in bunker trading, marine fuels, shipping or physical oil products trading will be the primary consideration.

Oilmar says it offers a competitive fixed salary based on experience, alongside a performance-based incentive scheme and a clear progression pathway across its regional offices.

The Dubai-headquartered company, founded in November 2015, initially focused on specialised chartering and tanker operations before expanding into trading and other energy-related activities. The company also has offices in Greece, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Turkey and UAE.
