  • Optimize rail logistics costs, including freight, wagon detention, demurrage, idle time and empty wagon repositioning.
  • Provide the Trading Desk with rail freight economics, delivery feasibility assessments, routing options and operational solutions to support trading decisions and new business opportunities.
  • Work closely with Traders to assess the operational feasibility and economics of potential new rail flows.
  • Monitor product quantities and quality specifications, coordinating with terminals, counterparties and inspectors as required.
  • Collaborate with Trading, Contracts, Finance, Credit, Risk and other relevant internal functions to ensure smooth physical trade execution.
  • Maintain proactive communication with rail carriers to monitor network performance, identify service disruptions and capacity constraints, and provide timely updates on operational risks affecting product movements.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with rail loading terminal operators and shippers to monitor facility activity, understand competing loading programmes and assess market dynamics affecting rail asset utilization.

Profile / Key Skills

  • Solid professional experience in rail logistics and operations, ideally within the oil, energy or commodity trading sector.
  • Proven experience managing rail tank wagons and European rail movements.
  • Experience managing wagon fleets, including availability, leasing, cleaning, maintenance, positioning and turnaround times.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
