What’s the role

The Commercial Gas Operations team is part of Shell Energy Singapore (SES) Operations, responsible for day-to-day management of SES commercial activities in Singapore. The team manages gas demand from all SES’ long-term and short-term buyers, analyzes and anticipates offtake trends, and works closely with Shell LNG Marketing & Trading’s (SLMT) Short Term team to optimize cargo delivery and maximize flexibility in accessing terminal storage capacity.

• Protect and optimize enterprise-wide value: Analyze buyers’ gas offtake, monitor nominations and schedules across all time horizons, and optimize LNG inventory and cargo deliveries to maximize commercial flexibility and value.
• Strengthen stakeholder and market relationships: Build and sustain engagement with terminals, suppliers, buyers, regulatory bodies, pipeline operators, vessel owners, and broader energy-market counterparts to preserve Shell’s market position and resolve operational gaps.
• Drive operational excellence and issue resolution: Troubleshoot and resolve operational issues across the LNG value chain, coordinate daily activities with internal and external parties, and design/update business processes and procedures.
• Support commercial growth and execution: Provide operational input for new projects, contracts, and spot cargoes while operating nomination systems and managing after-hours duties to ensure seamless, compliant, and reliable operations.

What you bring

Skills & Requirements:

• Knowledge of LNG industry concepts, Singapore’s gas/power market, and pipeline networks.
• Experience with Gas Sales Agreements, LNG SPAs, Terminal Use Agreements, and the Singapore Gas Network Code.
• Strong commercial awareness of LNG trading, terminal operations, and inventory management.
• Advanced Excel proficiency with the ability to manage and analyze large data volumes and complex IT systems, supported by strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and adaptability in a fast-paced environment.
