Fuel Oils / Bunker Analyst Intern

• Join the Liquids Data Operations team to help scale our bunker tracking product from existing established hubs to additional bunkering centres worldwide.
• This is a hands-on data analytics internship with exposure to shipping/commodities domain logic, geospatial filtering, and operational automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Increase Geographical Coverage: Expand the current bunker tracking model (python-based) to other hubs, including conducting exploratory work to fine-tune for each hub’s nuances
• Perform Routine Backtesting: Validate modelled bunker activity by exporting analysis-ready CSVs and reconciling monthly estimates against official port statistics, industry publications, or other trusted external sources.
• Investigate Data Quality Issues: Routinely analyze the bunker tracking data set to identify structural data quality issues and develop improvement solutions in the pipeline / post-processing to resolve them.
• Improve Pipeline & Data Platform: Help mature how we develop, run and persist bunker pipelines so that expansion is maintainable and scalable.
