- Advance your career in global trading. Starting July/August 2026.
- Gain experience across pricing, logistics and international markets
- Accelerate into a commercial career with strong growth opportunities
Peabody is a leading global coal producer, providing essential products for reliable energy and steel production. With operations across Australia and the United States, we play a critical role in global energy markets and are committed to building brighter futures through safe, sustainable and high-performing operations.
About the Role
As an Associate, Coal Marketing & Trading, you will join Peabody’s Seaborne Sales & Marketing team operating in a fast paced, high impact environment focused on coal commodities trading across Asian markets.
This is not a traditional graduate program. You will gain hands on exposure across sales, logistics, pricing and commercial operations, building a deep understanding of how value is created and optimised across the full commodity value chain.
The role is designed to accelerate high potential individuals into future customer facing and commercial leadership roles.
What You Will Do
- Develop an understanding of coal markets, pricing dynamics and international trade
- Support sales contracting, customer engagement and commercial negotiations
- Rotate across logistics, trade finance and commercial operations
- Analyse market trends, customer demand and pricing opportunities
- Work closely with internal teams to optimise product value and delivery outcomes
- Contribute to strategies that drive revenue, margin and customer outcomes
- Progress towards direct customer ownership and sales execution
The Lifestyle
This is not a typical Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 role.
- Work aligned to Asian market trading hours (typically afternoons into evenings)
- Exposure to real time trading activity and global customer interactions
- Fast-paced, high output environment where priorities can shift quickly
- Occasional weekend support during logistics activities, with flexibility and time in lieu provided
This role suits individuals who thrive in high-performance environments and are motivated by pace, challenge and accountability.
About You
You are commercially curious, resilient and motivated to build a career in trading and global markets.
We are looking for individuals who:
- Have recently graduated (within the last 2 years), or are completing studies in June 2026
- Hold a degree in Commerce, Economics, Finance, International Business, Logistics or similar
- Demonstrate strong commercial thinking you plan, analyse and add value before acting
- Show resilience and a willingness to take on and apply feedback
- Are proactive and take ownership in high pressure situations
- Have a genuine interest in commodity markets, trading or global business
- Communicate confidently and engage well with stakeholders
- Are flexible and comfortable working outside traditional hours
Why Join Peabody?
- Structured graduate program with rotations across trading, logistics and commercial functions
- Direct exposure to live commodity markets and international customers
- Clear pathway to progression into sales and trading leadership roles
- Mentorship from experienced industry professionals
- Unique opportunity to build a trading career from Brisbane (without relocating to major trading hubs)
- Competitive salary, relocation support (where applicable), and flexibility aligned to non traditional hours
Apply
If you are motivated to build a career in commodity trading and thrive in high-performance environments, we encourage you to apply.
