Job description

Position: Biofuels Broker – Physical Trading & Logistics

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Type: Full-time | On-site / Hybrid

Sector: Energy & Environmental Commodities


About the Role:

A growing international energy and commodities firm is seeking an experienced Biofuels Broker to join its Amsterdam-based trading desk. This role is best suited to a commercially minded professional with a strong understanding of physical biofuels markets and hands-on experience in shipping, logistics, or vessel operations. You'll be joining a dynamic and entrepreneurial team with a proven track record in renewable fuels, environmental certificates, and cross-border trade.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Originate and broker physical biofuels deals (biodiesel, HVO, ethanol, UCOME, etc.) across European and global markets.

  • Act as a key liaison between counterparties, coordinating vessel scheduling, shipping documentation, and contract execution.

  • Leverage existing knowledge of freight, terminals, blending, and supply chains to de-risk trades and add commercial value.

  • Maintain and grow a strong client book—traders, refiners, blenders, and biofuel end-users.

  • Monitor market developments, logistics bottlenecks, and price arbitrage opportunities across regions.

  • Collaborate closely with operations, legal, credit, and trading functions to ensure full compliance and smooth execution.

What We're Looking For:

  • 3–6+ years of experience in biofuels, softs, or clean fuels markets, ideally with a broking or commercial shipping background.

  • Proven understanding of vessel chartering, freight rates, incoterms, and shipping documentation (e.g. BLs, LC handling, ISCC certificates).

  • Commercially astute, with a proactive approach to developing client relationships and spotting trade opportunities.

  • Familiarity with renewable fuel regulations (e.g. RED II, Fit for 55), sustainability schemes (ISCC, REDcert), and certificate trading.

  • Fluent in English (additional languages, especially Dutch, Spanish, or German, are an advantage).

  • Based in or willing to relocate to the Netherlands.


What’s on Offer:

  • Join an agile and ambitious commodities firm with a strong presence across Europe and a growing biofuels portfolio.

  • Direct exposure to both trading and logistics sides of the business, with clear opportunities for career and PnL progression.

  • Competitive base salary and generous commission / performance structure.

  • Supportive, international team culture with flat hierarchy and decision-making autonomy.

  • Attractive benefits package and potential for equity participation.
