Shipping Operator

Your next challenge starts in Geneva!

Behind every successful energy trade is a complex maritime operation. At TotalEnergies Trading & Shipping, our Shipping teams ensure that cargoes move safely, efficiently and reliably across global markets.

We are looking for an experienced Shipping Operator with a seagoing background to join our Geneva team and play a central role in coordinating international maritime operations.

Trading & Shipping (T&S) is the trading arm of TotalEnergies for crude oil, refined products, biofuels and paper derivatives. With around 1,000 employees, T&S operates from Geneva, Houston, Singapore, Dubai, Athens and Paris, ensuring the daily supply of refineries and distribution networks worldwide. In energy markets, T&S creates value through fair value assessment of flows, sourcing the best products for customers, and managing operational, financial, regulatory and HSE risks. As logistics and safety professionals, teams operate across the entire energy supply chain in fast-moving markets shaped by geopolitical and economic factors, requiring constant adaptation.

We are committed to meet the energy needs of a growing population and we are committed to the energy transition. The volatility of the energy trading markets requires excellence in risk management and a culture of innovation. We are fully embracing the digital revolution. 

Our people flourish in an environment that promotes expertise, entrepreneurship spirit, agility and a purpose-driven culture, generating boundless opportunities to learn, grow and achieve collaborative success. 

Reinforcing the competencies of our people is a key pillar of our culture: we train our people to ensure their development and we pledge to encourage safety in all our actions. 

We look for passion, ambition and open-mindedness. While we evolve in a demanding industry that requests to be always on the edge, we cultivate a friendly workplace where our people feel good, where team spirit and respect guide our daily routine, where the diversity of our people and their skills create a nourishing experience for all of us.
