Raise is currently hiring a contract team member on behalf of our client. They’re expanding their team to meet growing needs, making this a unique opportunity to work with an industry leader.
Overview
You keep client’s cargoes moving at sea, safely and at the best value. You plan voyages, schedule vessels, and work with traders to get more from a global portfolio of ships. You join a 13-person team where voyage optimizers and cargo schedulers work side by side, and you can support both sides. Success looks like on-time cargoes, accurate voyage data, and fewer surprises from demurrage (fees for vessel delays) and oil loss.
Responsibilities
- Schedule marine cargo movements and share timely, accurate voyage updates with everyone who needs them.
- Optimize a global portfolio of chartered vessels (term, spot, and contract of affreightment) through out-chartering, stowage plans, repositioning, and bunkering (fueling).
- Work with commodity and freight traders to improve the financial results of commercial agreements.
- Nominate oil movements, prepare documentation instructions, and issue voyage orders and letters of indemnity.
- Monitor vessel movements and stay ahead of demurrage and oil loss.
- Enter voyage details in Veson Nautical so freight and voyage charges are right.
- Confirm each vessel passes internal vetting, and work with the Marine Quality Assurance team to close any gaps.
- Partner with trading, supply coordination, refinery, controller, and product quality teams, plus brokers, agents, vessel owners, and terminal operators.
- Cover the Americas, coordinate with regional teams in other time zones, and handle issues that arise after hours.
- Follow policies, industry standards, and government regulations.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or higher. Supply chain is a great fit. Engineering, business, and other science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) degrees work too.
- Five or more years of commercial oil and gas experience, such as hydrocarbon scheduling, voyage operations, chartering, demurrage claims, trade settlements, or trade shop work.
- Hands-on experience in marine or logistics operations.
- Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
- Strong communication, organization, and analytical skills.
- Comfort with changing priorities, and the ability to work independently under pressure.
- Willingness to be on call outside regular hours and to work onsite in Spring, Texas.
Preferred Qualifications
- Maritime industry background, including sailing experience.
- Familiarity with hydrocarbon logistics and finished products such as diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel.
- Experience handling product quality issues.
- Experience with Veson Nautical and SAP.
- Knowledge of transaction accounting and commercial contracts.
