Full Job Description

Join a team building something from the ground up in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets. As part of the physical gas business in New York, you will play a central role in ensuring that energy flows reliably from source to use—working at the intersection of trading, operations, and market infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to develop hands-on expertise in North American gas scheduling while collaborating closely with traders, operators, and counterparties to keep operations running seamlessly in a fast-moving environment.

You will be part of a growing presence in the United States, contributing directly to the establishment of a physical gas platform that connects global capabilities with local market insight.

Salary range for this position:  $105,000- $120,000 - $135,000/Year. Actual base salary may vary based several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant experience, business needs and market demands. This role may also be eligible for bonus compensation and employee benefits.

About the Role

You will take ownership of day-to-day scheduling activities, ensuring that gas flows are executed accurately and in line with both operational requirements and trading strategies. Working closely with traders and senior schedulers, you will contribute to the smooth running of physical operations in a market where timing and precision are critical.

The role offers exposure to a wide range of commercial and operational processes, providing a strong foundation in physical gas markets while supporting the development of scalable workflows and controls in a growing business. As part of this, you will play an active role in ensuring that:

  • Daily gas nominations are submitted across pipelines and assets in line with strict operational deadlines.
  • Pipeline bulletin boards and operational communications are closely monitored, allowing potential constraints to be identified early and shared with relevant stakeholders.
  • Imbalances, storage positions and park and loan activity are carefully managed to reduce operational risk and limit cashout exposure.
  • Relationships with pipeline operators, producers, counterparties and asset owners are maintained through continuous coordination to resolve issues efficiently.
  • Scheduling data and operational records remain accurate within systems, while reconciliations, reporting and month-end processes are supported.

This is a hybrid role with a strong office presence in New York, where close collaboration with traders and operational teams is key to day-to-day success. Flexibility to provide out-of-hours coverage is part of the role, reflecting the real-time nature of physical gas markets.

About You

You bring a structured and detail-oriented approach to operational work, with the ability to stay focused in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. You are comfortable working across teams and stakeholders, and you recognise the value of clear communication in keeping operations running smoothly.

A strong analytical mindset allows you to work confidently with complex information, while your curiosity drives you to build a deeper understanding of physical gas markets and their commercial context. You are motivated by the opportunity to grow within a developing business and contribute to building strong operational foundations.

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

  • A relevant degree in Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or a related field
  • Experience from a relevant internship or academic project
  • The ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and perform effectively under tight deadlines in a fast-paced setting.
  • Confidence in communicating complex subjects to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Advanced Excel skills and Python programming proficiency
  • Flexibility to support out-of-hours operational requirements when needed.

Please include a cover letter as part of your application. To guide you, we encourage you to reflect on a few key points:

  • What interests you most about this role based on the job description, and why?
  • Which relevant experience or academic projects have you been involved in, and how have they prepared you for a role like this?
