Oilmar is recruiting a bunker trader to be based in Singapore, according to a job posting published by the firm on 2 July.

The role is open to mid-level and senior-level candidates, with the company citing three to six years of experience for mid-level applicants and more than six years for senior candidates.

According to the posting, the successful candidate will be responsible for originating, negotiating and executing back-to-back physical marine fuel transactions across grades including HSFO, VLSFO and MGO, as well as alternative marine fuels where applicable, with the job carrying direct revenue responsibility.

The position requires candidates to develop and manage a portfolio of shipowners, operators, charterers and trading counterparties, with portfolio ownership expected to scale according to the seniority of the hire. Senior candidates will additionally be expected to demonstrate a track record of profit and loss responsibility and may take on mentorship duties within the team.

Applicants for the Singapore role should have a strong understanding of Asia-Pacific bunker market dynamics, with Mandarin language skills described as advantageous.

In terms of qualifications, Oilmar is seeking candidates with a bachelor's degree in business, maritime studies, economics, finance or a related discipline, though this is listed as a preference rather than a strict requirement. Relevant experience in bunker trading, marine fuels, shipping or physical oil products trading is required.

Core competencies listed include commercial acumen, negotiation skills, numerical aptitude and an understanding of credit, operational and compliance risk management. Candidates must be able to operate within approved credit limits and sanctions regulations, and comply with know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.

The position offers a fixed salary commensurate with experience, a performance-based incentive structure and what is described as a clear progression pathway across its regional offices.

Founded in 2015, Oilmar is a marine fuels trader that has also recently expanded into cargo and base oil trading. The company has offices in Athens, Dubai, Geneva, Istanbul, Seoul and Singapore, according to its website.
