European Oil Operations Manager
The Organisation
BG Group is one of the world’s leading exploration and production businesses and one of the UK’s top performing companies. While our operations span the globe we place a high value on the individual and as such you’ll see your efforts shape our future success.
Two of the cornerstones of BG Group’s success have been our ability to connect our competitively priced resources to high-value markets and, in liberalised markets, utilising our skills to maximise value.
Energy marketing activities involve the purchase, transportation, storage and sales of energy commodities in competitive markets with multiple supply and market options.
To ensure that the Group maximises value through our worldwide energy marketing and shipping activities, we have consolidated the trading and marketing activities from around the Group into one team, supported by an Energy Marketing Function that will develop, maintain and support the implementation of standards and guidelines for energy marketing activities.
BG Group’s Global Energy Marketing and Shipping (GEMS) group promotes transparency and managerial focus on energy marketing and shipping activities, resulting in higher standards of risk control. We drive functional excellence on a global level to create a BG Way for energy marketing activities, as well as train and deploy energy marketing and shipping staff globally.
