Oilmar is looking to hire a senior bunker trader at its head office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The role, which requires a minimum of six years' experience in bunker trading, marine fuels, shipping, or physical oil products trading, carries direct revenue responsibility and involves originating, negotiating, and executing back-to-back physical marine fuel transactions.

According to the job posting, the successful candidate will be expected to develop and manage a portfolio of shipowners, operators, charterers, and suppliers, while executing trades across a range of fuel grades including HSFO, VLSFO, MGO, and alternative marine fuels where applicable.

The position is described as carrying broader strategic responsibilities at a senior level, including contributing to regional expansion and potentially mentoring more junior team members. Candidates are expected to demonstrate a track record of profit-and-loss responsibility and portfolio growth.

Beyond transactional execution, the position encompasses credit, risk, and compliance management — including adherence to sanctions regulations and know your customer (KYC) requirements — as well as internal reporting and cross-office collaboration.

Familiarity with regional markets is preferred for the Dubai posting, with Arabic, Russian, or Hindi/Urdu language skills listed as advantageous.

Compensation is described as comprising a competitive fixed salary commensurate with experience, alongside a performance-based incentive structure and a pathway for progression across the company's regional offices.
