About Metals, Minerals and Bulk
A successful career in physical trading requires a long term
commitment to all the elements of the production and trading
process as well as a keen interest in this truly exciting and
dynamic industry. Trafigura, with its head office for metals and
minerals in Lucerne, Switzerland, has grown in all areas of the
supply chain and recently entered into the coal, iron ore, cobalt
and nickel markets to complement its existing raw material trading
activities in copper, alumina, lead and zinc, as well as refined
metals.
Our Lima, Shanghai and Mumbai offices are
receiving our main focus for business growth today as they serve
the key Latin American, Chinese and Indian markets. As a
consequence, we actively encourage candidates from these countries,
in particular those who are studying overseas and wishing to work
in one of our offices around the globe, to contact us. We offer an
“on-the-job” training programme designed to train dedicated and
highly skilled candidates in a head office environment before being
relocated to field offices to take up challenging positions.
Our “Future Talent” opportunities are designed
to develop the strongest candidates with the highest potential and
provide development programmes tailored to their abilities and
personal aims. The environment is highly demanding and candidates
who approach the learning process with real passion and
decisiveness will quickly see the benefits of gaining an
established foundation from which to catapult their career.
