Oilmar DMCC is seeking a senior bunker trader for its Dubai office, according to a job posting on LinkedIn.

The advertised role focuses on originating, negotiating and completing back-to-back marine fuel transactions while building and maintaining a portfolio of shipowners, operators, charterers and trading counterparties. The position carries direct responsibility for generating revenue and requires a combination of commercial expertise and careful management of credit, risk and compliance exposure.

Responsibilities include executing physical bunker transactions involving high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO), very-low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), marine gas oil (MGO) and, where applicable, alternative marine fuels. The trader will also negotiate pricing and contractual terms while keeping track of market developments, price trends, supply-demand dynamics and regulatory changes.

The role also involves maintaining relationships with customers and suppliers, coordinating with operational teams and overseeing the full transaction cycle from initial enquiry and pricing through to delivery monitoring and post-fixture follow-up.

Oilmar said candidates should have more than six years of experience in bunker trading, marine fuels, shipping or physical oil products trading. Applicants are expected to demonstrate strong commercial judgement alongside awareness of credit, operational and compliance risks.

For the Dubai-based position, the company notes that the role will focus on trade flows across the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Africa. Familiarity with these regional markets is preferred, while Arabic, Russian or Hindi/Urdu language skills are considered advantageous.

A bachelor’s degree in business, maritime studies, economics, finance, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory. Fluency in English is required.

The company said it offers a competitive fixed salary based on experience, together with a performance-based incentive structure and progression opportunities across its international offices.
