Job Title: Graduate Junior Shipping Analyst

Our client is one of the world's largest physical traders for most of the metals and minerals in which it deals, a major force in the world coal and coke markets, and one of the largest non-integrated physical traders of crude oil and oil products.

I have an excellent opportunity for a bright graduate to join this global company as a Junior Shipping Analyst.

This role involves vessel tracking using the Whiteboard program and demands a strong understanding of how this program works. Vessels emit signals which are then picked up and translated onto a map indicating where the vessels are located.

In this role you will need to:
- Improve the program
- Use the program information for trading and shipping desks

The key responsibilities are as follows:
- Collecting information from the various sources at hand, including traders, charterers and operators, in addition to brokers and agents
- Cleaning, organising and structuring data for manipulation
- Producing detailed reports for the various trading desks on specific product flows
