Enable America Jobs

Where you fit in

Shell Trading & Supply is the principal trading and shipping business within Shell. It is made up of a network of independent companies that trade in their own right but also leverage the opportunities open to a global organisation by sharing information, advice and best practice.

We trade the equivalent of about 14 million barrels of oil per day - this is made up of crude oil, refined products, chemicals, natural gas, electrical power, low carbon fuels and environmental products. With the skill base and international scope to capitalise on trading opportunities inherent in Shell's asset and market positions around the world, our key trading and marketing operations are based in North and South America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) is at the core of what we do at Shell.

Diversity and differences are seen as opportunities for enhancing Shell’s performance, therefore showing genuine belief in and respect for people is considered key and we positively welcome applications from people with disability.

Please note: We occasionally amend or withdraw Shell jobs and reserve the right to do so at any time, including prior to the advertised closing date.

The Shell Group and its approved recruitment consultants will never ask you for a fee to process or consider your application for a career with Shell. Anyone who demands such a fee is not an authorised Shell representative and you are strongly advised to refuse any such demand.

Shell is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
