The role
Sit across chartering, agents, masters, and technical managers to keep every fixture running to plan
- Build voyage orders, track port and regulatory restrictions, and keep the Master briefed throughout

- Make calls under pressure and know when to push a decision up the chain
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they're looking for
- Genuine dry bulk operations experience, ideally 5 years or more, gained at a shipowner, operator, or major trading house (strong candidates with a bit less will still get a look)
- Comfortable working without someone checking in on routine calls
- Sharp commercial judgement and a track record of sorting disputes before they escalate
- Confident in Excel and IMOS or an equivalent system
- Clear written and spoken English
- Organised, methodical, and happy to put in the hours a commercial desk sometimes demands

Office-based in London, five days a week
Some evening and weekend availability comes with the territory, same as any commercial shipping seat.
Impressive company, strong fleet, genuine room to grow... Ideally people will already be based in London but our client will consider arranging visa requirements for a great Vessel Operator interested in relocating
